Porte de Bercy, City gate in 12th arrondissement, France.
The Porte de Bercy is a major road intersection at the boundary between Paris and Charenton-le-Pont along the Seine. Multiple roads, ring roads, and a tram line converge here in a complex traffic hub.
The gate originated as a fortification from the Thiers period and provided access to the commune of Bercy. When Bercy merged with Paris in 1860, the area gradually became an important transportation crossroads.
The area reflects its past as a wine storage and trading district that shaped this part of the city. Today it shows this shift through sports venues and government buildings that represent the modern district's new role.
You can reach this area by car via the ring roads and the A4 motorway, or by tram on line 3a. It is a busy intersection with heavy traffic, so stay alert if you walk through on foot.
An old fortress bastion survives within the traffic interchange and has been turned into a public green space. Visitors can reach this small green area from the boulevard and escape the noise for a moment.
