Port de Bercy, Commercial port in 12th arrondissement, Paris, France
Port de Bercy stretches for about a kilometer and a half along the right bank of the Seine River, connecting Boulevard Poniatowski to Bercy Bridge. The waterfront is roughly 24 meters wide and serves as a loading and unloading point where goods arrive by boat to supply the city.
The port received its formal designation in 1905 and takes its name from the former commune of Bercy, which Paris annexed in 1860. For much of the past century, this waterfront was a major hub where goods moved between boats and the city's distribution network.
The port area maintains industrial functions while integrating modern developments, including the presence of La Boudeuse boat and the Vogueo station for public transportation.
The port is easily accessible by multiple transport options and has several entry points along the waterfront. Walking along the edge gives you the best way to observe the working waterfront and understand how goods move in and out.
The port forms an essential component of Paris road network, supporting the distribution of goods while maintaining direct access to former Bercy warehouses.
