Bercy

The 12th Arrondissement

Going from the Gare de Lyon and extending east to the city limits, this Right Bank neighborhood is a (mostly) calm corner of Paris. Although it’s home to the Ministry for the Economy and Finance, the area isn’t all business, with one of Paris’s main concert venues and the Cinémathèque Française residing here as well. Behind the Bercy Park, the Bercy Village offers good shopping in a quaint environment. Further north, the elevated park La Coulée Verte leads you on a relaxing, greenery-filled walk back to Bastille or out to Vincennes.
