Château de Bercy

The château was reworked from 1702 to 1713 by the architect Jacques de La Guépière, who added to the service buildings.

[1] Charles-Henri II commissioned sculptors employed on royal buildings to modernize the château's furnishings in 1713–14.

The gardens, designed by André Le Nôtre, extended to the banks of the Seine river.

Today the main SNCF route from east to west, the Périphérique and the autoroute de l'Est run where the garden of Le Nôtre used to be.

Only two hunting pavilions survive, built 1713–1714 to the designs of Jacques de La Guépière and located on either side of the rue du Petit Château.
