New Year's Concert at the Eiffel Tower 2026: classical music in the Gustave Eiffel Salon

On January 1, 2026, celebrate the New Year with a classical music concert in the heart of the Eiffel Tower, in the prestigious Salon Gustave Eiffel, with the Classik Ensemble Orchestra and David Braccini.

Experience a timeless January 1, 2026 with the New Year's Concert held in the prestigious Salon Gustave Eiffel, perched on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, with a spectacular view of the capital. This musical event transports you to the rhythm of great waltzes and classical dances, performed bythe Classik Ensemble Orchestra, conducted by solo violinist David Braccini.

Under the metal arches of the Iron Lady, a repertoire of Strauss, Mozart, Béla Bartók, Brahms, and Jules Massenet will celebrate the arrival of the new year. Mozart's iconic Eine kleine Nachtmusik will resonate in a majestic setting, where every note seems to rise towards the stars. To complete the experience, elevator access to the Gustave Eiffel Salon is included in the ticket price, offering a unique ascent for a moment suspended above the rooftops of Paris.

A classical experience in the heart of an iconic monument.

The concert begins at 6 p.m., but your experience starts much earlier: you must arrive one hour before the start of the show to collect your elevator pass at the Gustave Eiffel kiosk, located on the forecourt of the Tower. There are two entrances: entrance 1 (allée des Refuzniks) and entrance 2 (allée Jean Paulhan), with a dedicated line for Salon Gustave Eiffel guests to avoid long waits. The last elevator ride is 15 minutes before the concert: after this time, access is no longer guaranteed.

Once inside the hall, the atmosphere is hushed and intimate. The spotlights soften, the instruments tune up, and the hustle and bustle of the city fades away, giving way to a moment of pure musical contemplation. It is in this warm atmosphere that the first notes immerse you in the intoxicating world of classical music.

For music lovers... but not only

This concert is primarily aimed at classical music lovers, those curious to discover the great composers in an unusual setting, and those who wish to mark the New Year with a memorable cultural experience. Couples looking for a romantic date, groups of friends, or families with teenagers will find an elegant and accessible atmosphere.

However, if you are accompanied by young children, prefer noisy festive atmospheres, or are not particularly interested in instrumental music, this evening may not meet your expectations. It is not a lively event, but a moment suspended in time, where listening and artistic appreciation are central.

A unique concert to start the year off right.
