Parc de Bercy

On the eastern riverfront, this contemporary park was laid out on the site of former wine warehouses, whose old cobbled lanes, rail tracks and mature trees were incorporated into the design. Divided into distinct sections, it combines formal parterres, a romantic garden with a lake, an orchard and vine plots recalling the district's trade in wine. Footbridges link it to the national library across the Seine, and a former wine store now houses a cultural venue. The park anchors a regenerated quarter of modern architecture.
