It’s going to be hot again in Paris! If you’re not on vacation yet, we’ve found a true haven of peace for you in the 12th arrondissement: Bercy Park. Built on the site of a former vineyard, this vast, free 14-hectare green space is home to a rich biodiversity that’s rarely seen elsewhere. Divided into three distinct areas, you’ll be surprised by this park—it’s unlike any other!
Bercy Park, a true haven of peace in the heart of Paris
This true slice of the countryside, nestled in the heart of the 12th arrondissement, has it all . A vast expanse of lawn, perfect for lounging in the sun. Shaded water gardens to escape the heat, lulled by the lapping of the fountains; paths lined with grapevines; a romantic garden surrounded by rosebushes and seasonal flowers… In short, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind green space.
Once one of the most renowned wine markets of the 17th century, you’ll find a few remnants here that give the place its unique charm: cobblestone streets, old rails that once facilitated the transport of wine, and even some vineyards. You’ll also see stunning sculptures scattered here and there throughout the garden, adding an artistic touch.
A lovely park that’s definitely worth a visit!
Location: 128 Quai de Bercy, 75012 Paris
