Bercy, Paris — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Old wine warehouses turned cobbled lanes give Bercy its grain, a quarter in the 12th arrondissement of Paris around the Parc de Bercy and the Accor Arena.
About Bercy
Where to stay in Bercy
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Where to stay in Bercy depends on your pull toward the park or the old warehouse lanes. The streets around the Pavillons de Bercy, the restored wine stores now known as Bercy Village, put cafés and the Cinémathèque Française at the door, a quieter corner of the 12th arrondissement of Paris where the crowds thin after dark. Book here for calm.
Rooms nearer the Accor Arena suit anyone drawn by a concert or a match, with the green sweep of the Parc de Bercy across the way. The park is the reward.
About Bercy
What are the main landmarks in Bercy?
The main landmarks in Bercy stand between the park and the old warehouse quarter. Crowds fill the Accor Arena for concerts and matches, while the Cinémathèque Française keeps its film archive close by. Restored wine stores fill the Pavillons de Bercy, the cobbled heart of Bercy Village, and the Belvedere of the Parc de Bercy looks out over the gardens from a raised walk.
Two chapels remain. The Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix and the Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité de Bercy mark the quarter's older ground.
What is the history of Bercy?
Bercy grew as the wine quarter on the eastern edge of Paris, its entrepôts storing barrels shipped up to the capital along the river. Wine ruled here. The Château de Bercy once stood over the surrounding estate before the warehouses spread across it.
Those Pavillons de Bercy survived the clearances that reshaped the district, and they became the cobbled core of Bercy Village. The Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité de Bercy served the parish through those working years, long before the Accor Arena and the Parc de Bercy remade the ground around it.
Where is Bercy?
Bercy lies in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, its lanes running between the Parc de Bercy and the Accor Arena on the city's eastern side.
