Bercy is an area in the east of the city of Paris, France, north of the river Seine.

Bercy was formerly a commune. It was annexed to Paris in 1860.

The area features two well-known large buildings:

  • The Ministry of Finances (often known as “Bercy” simply), built in the 1980s; the extremity of the building plunges into the river Seine, where two fast boats dedicated to VIP transportation are moored.
  • The Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy (POPB) is a large sports hall often used for concerts.

The Métro station Bercy is between the ministry and the POPB.

Further to the east lies the Bercy Park, and the Cour Saint-Émilion, where former warehouses have been converted into a complex featuring many trendy stores and a movie theatre. (Text Source: Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)
