Revelers on New Year's Eve are likely to remain on the streets well into the night. Jawbone UP, a fitness tracker known to chart sleep activity, found citizens of Paris generally stay up until nearly 3:00 a.m. on New Year’s, according to the Telegraph.

Police will patrol the city to ensure the events stay under control. Security measures have been beefed up across Europe and designed to prevent incidents such as the horrific lorry attack in Berlin in 2016, which claimed the lives of 12 people.

The Islamic State group (ISIS) has threatened to attack Paris on New Year's Day, reportedly in a digitally created propaganda poster, according a Daily Mail report earlier this month. The image appeared to show people in front of the Arc de Triomphe, with an overlay of a carving knife dripping with blood.

ISIS had already warned of attacks being carried out on foot, after several bollards and gates were placed at Christmas markets across Europe. The latest posters threatening attacks are believed to be a part of a concerted campaign to bring mayhem to Europe's major cities, the United States and Russia over the holidays including Christmas and into 2018.
