The park was built on what was once the largest wine market in the world, active from the mid-19th century until the 1960s.
Several old stone wine warehouses were preserved and converted into shops and restaurants in the adjacent Bercy Village.
The park contains a specialized 'Maison du Jardinage' that provides resources and workshops on urban gardening.
The garden layout purposefully mimics the gentle slope of the original terrain toward the Seine River.
Old railway tracks, which formerly transported wine barrels, have been preserved and embedded into the park's walking paths.
Parc de Bercy is a 14-hectare urban park located on the site of former 19th-century wine warehouses. The park is structured into three distinct gardens: the Romantic Garden, the Parterres, and the Meadows. It preserves original 19th-century wine-trading architecture, including stone storehouses and railway tracks integrated into the landscaping. The park serves as a green connection between the Accor Arena and the Bercy Village shopping district. It features a decorative pond, a labyrinth, and a dedicated rose garden containing nearly 300 varieties. The landscape design incorporates remnants of the area’s industrial history with modern horticultural installations. The park is situated on the right bank of the Seine and connects directly to the Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir pedestrian bridge.

Combine your visit with a walk through the neighboring Bercy Village for a view of the restored wine cellars.
Bring a picnic, as the designated 'Meadows' areas are specifically designed for leisure on the grass.
Use the pedestrian footbridge, Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir, to access the National Library of France across the river.
Do not overlook the distinct transition between the three garden sections, as many visitors stay only in the northern portion.
