Quai de Bercy, Riverfront quay in Bercy, 12th arrondissement, Paris, France

Quai de Bercy is a riverside road along the Seine in the 12th arrondissement, running from the Pont National to the Porte de Bercy interchange and continuing into Charenton-le-Pont. On the Paris side it passes opposite the Accor Arena, the Parc de Bercy and Bercy Village. A pale stone retaining wall with two tiers and small dark openings near the waterline borders the roadway.

During the 1800s, this quay was a major hub for wine storage and commercial shipping along the river with warehouses lining the water. Its transformation from a busy port into a modern pedestrian zone reflects how the city has evolved over generations.

The name comes from the former village of Bercy, where the quay was already a main road by 1672, as shown on Jouvin de Rochefort's plan. From the late 18th century, wine barrels were stored outside the tax wall near the barrière de la Rapée, starting the wine trade that lasted until the Bercy warehouses closed in 1988. Guinguettes opened at the same time; the Rocher de Cancale restaurant was the best known.

The area is easily accessible by metro and bus with several stops nearby providing convenient connections to other parts of the city. The path itself is flat and spacious, making it welcoming for walkers, cyclists, and people using wheelchairs.

At the start of the Paris section, near the Pont National, a remnant of the Thiers fortification survives: Bastion no. 1, one of the few pieces of that 1840s city wall still standing. The quay itself appears on Jouvin de Rochefort's 1672 map, and from 1570 it received firewood and timber floated down from the Morvan.
