Parc de Bercy

Parc de Bercy is a scenic urban park located in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, France

Parc de Bercy is a 12-hectare (29.6-acre) park situated in the former wine-producing district of Bercy. The park was created in 1993 and is now a popular recreation spot for locals and visitors alike. Initially used as a railway freight depot, the area underwent a significant transformation when the railway activities were relocated in the late 20th century. The park's design features a series of basins and canals that were part of the old wine-storage facilities, as well as lush greenery, walking paths, and several outdoor sculptures. The park offers various amenities, such as a skate park, a playground for children, and multiple sports facilities, including tennis courts and a basketball court. Additionally, Parc de Bercy hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including concerts, festivals, and markets, adding to its vibrant atmosphere. In addition to its recreational offerings, Parc de Bercy is home to the Cité de la Mode et du Design, a fashion and design museum, and the Musée des Arts Forains, a museum dedicated to the history of amusement parks. With its unique blend of history, culture, and recreation, Parc de Bercy is a must-visit destination in Paris.
