les Favets Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Finding if difficult to trace any one organising an official New Years Eve 2 to 3 day holiday break for potential clients. If any one out there is doing so, would be pleased to hear about itRegards Les Favetswww.ruralfranceholidays.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levelstep Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 What is an official New Years Eve? Please clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmetal Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Hi, We are in the process of creating a Chambres d'Hote and hope to be ready for Christmas/New Year. How many people are you talking about and what do exactly to you mean by "official"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Favets Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hi!! To you both, It is all this french language that seems to be taking over my life. I meant by: official !! One that was being organised by either gite, Hotel or B&B , ownwers, rather then friends or local villagers coming together just for the night. We have had one being offered which falls in line with this ie; An English club that organises social functions throughout the year are having a sing along and later dancing on the evening and have invited us ( Through the net ) to join them but there is no accommodation being offered.At the moment there is only my wife and myself although we have had 2 other couples who are friends who have shown interest.Regards Les Favetswww.ruralfranceholidays.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Cor I'm almost tempted to open. We were thinking of opening for New Year and offering a 2 night package for 3 or 4 couples with a big seafood extravaganza on New Year's Eve but have decided to leave it for this year to alleviate the pressure of getting the dining room done in time. We'll probably do it next year though[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Xmas and New Year are well worth opening for. We did our advertising in September and are full for both. We worked out the markup by looking at people who have been doing this a while. We do ours as all inclusive including transport, trips out, village party tickets and trad xmas lunch and charge 150 Euros per day per person. For new year we take the guests to a big resteraunt with a dance, they get a 7 course meal and all they can drink. As I said we are full for both. Lot of work but it will pay for our holiday in Jan, somewhere hot and nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Why not try what we are doing....... Book somewhere, arrive, pop down to the local supermarket, buy beer, food and a bottle of champagne, knock on hosts door and invite them to celebrate the New Year avec vous....................also, maybe buy some 'Now Much Cheaper' fireworks, and after seeking permission from the owners, have a little display at midnight for yourself and any passing locals. voila.................

Coco Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 There again, host may already have made plans that don't include you and there may not be any passing locals. I thought Le Flavets wanted something organised for the very reason that he didn't want to be alone and presumably wanted someone else to do the work, ie cooking etc. This option leaves much too much to chance and who's going to cook dinner?!?

les Favets Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 What a pity I seem to have missed the boat in one reply and will have to keep my eye open for next years possibility with another and you hit the nail on the head Coco, we didn't want to be alone for New Years Eve it would not be natural . Thank you for all your replies and hope that someone else comes on site to add their suggestionsRegards Les Favetswww.ruralfranceholidays.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Simply do what we do, go back to England for both Xmas and New Year and celebrate it properly. [:D] We finally got fed up with the 10 days being condensed to an hour or so !! [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Les, I think Miki has it - why spend a vapid new year in France when you could be vibrant in the UK? Or even better, Spain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I don't like New Year's Eve. Never have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I think Dick is right, Spain and then UK have never been vapid but Mark has said that is how he prefers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
