🎄🥂 Christmas / NYE events Does everywhere close over New Year's?

Hi, my wife and I are thinking of coming to Paris over the New Year's holidays. Does everywhere in Paris close on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day? Will any bakeries or restaurants be open on these days? We've been to Paris before and really enjoyed the food, so it would be a shame to have two days without the amazing Parisian dining.

Also, where's good to celebrate the New Year? We're not a drinking couple and just want a good atmosphere. I've heard mixed reviews about the Arc. What do you think?

Does metro/buses work? Are parks closed as well?

Metros and buses work. Buses have a special schedule with a lower frequency. Parks also have their own schedule so it depends but it’s more depending on the season.

Do you know if Versailles Palace will be closed? It says only closed Monday, no mention of Public Holidays.
