Parc de Bercy

Parc de Bercy is a 14-hectare urban park along the Seine River, designed with three distinct garden sections connected by footbridges and walking paths. The layout combines open lawns and ornamental gardens with historic wine warehouse structures preserved throughout the grounds.

The land functioned as the world's largest wine market depot during the 19th century before transforming into a public park that opened in 1993. This conversion allowed a major commercial center to become a space accessible to residents and visitors.

The original wine warehouse buildings scattered throughout the grounds tell the story of what this place once was. Visitors walking here encounter the art installation Children of the World by Rachid Khimoune, which sits within the garden spaces.

The park is accessible through Bercy and Cour Saint-Émilion metro stations, with entrances on both the Seine riverside and the AccorHotels Arena side. These multiple entry points let visitors enter from different directions depending on where they are coming from.

An annual grape harvest takes place in the park's maintained vineyard, keeping alive its connection to its past as a wine trading center. This yearly tradition shows how the grounds honor their former role in the city's history.
