Bercy station (Paris Métro)

West of the station, Line 6 goes above ground and crosses the Seine to the Rive Gauche on the Pont de Bercy.

The intersection is on the site of the Barrière de Bercy, one of the gates in the Wall of the Farmers-General (1784-1860), where taxes were collected on goods brought into the city.

From 1972 to 1974, during the pneumatisation of Line 6, the Gare de Paris Bercy, located south of the station, was used to carry out this work.

The decoration is of the style used for most Métro stations, bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, vault and tunnel exits, while lighting is provided by two tube-canopies.

The name of the station is written in Parisine font on backlit panels embedded in the walls and on stickers affixed to the platform facades.
