Hi, we have an apartment booked starting on Jan 1st. We would like to travel down and stay overnight the night before, but this will mean we staying somewhere on NYE. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where we could stay. We will need secure parking as we will have thing strapped to the roof!

There are many hotels in the world, pick one near where you are staying.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

perhaps I should be more specific, to avoid the passive agressive died hards...
I woud like to stay in a place that would be fun for New years eve, perhaps a town that has a good NYE atmosphere - fireworks that sort of thing. I was thinking somewhere like Dijon, Reims or Troyes - I know nothing about these towns does anyone have any suggestion of towns (and hotels) that would be fun for NYE, it will be just my wife an I, no kids.

BenAS, the Best Western in Reims has secure underground parking, and there is an underground car park in the city centre (Place d'Erlon) close to the Hotel Bristol. Lots of good restaurants about, but it will be noisy. We stayed at the Hotel Wilson in Dijon recently, you can park in their courtyard overnight. There's a Michelin restaurant next door if you want to celebrate in style (but you will need to book, hotel may have a package deal), or there are loads of restaurants just 10 minutes away in the centre.

Secure parking is clearly important. Ibis La City in Besancon has underground parking and is a short walk from the centre. The citadel has impressive battlements - I imagine the fireworks should be good - and it's Franche Comte so the food should be good. Depends where you're heading of course!

We're heading to Samoens. But looking for somewhere about two third or three quarters of the way there from Calais.

Troyes is pleasant, but pass on the sausages.
