The port area connects the neighborhoods of Quinze-Vingts and Bercy, reflecting the maritime heritage and commercial evolution of eastern Paris.
The docking areas are accessible from the riverside road and equipped for cargo handling operations. Visitors should watch for active vessel traffic and stick to designated areas, as regular commercial activities take place here.
This port combines industrial functionality with urban integration, incorporating 155 meters of width that accommodates both commercial and recreational activities.
