Parc de Bercy

Composed of three different gardens on different themes connected by foot bridges, the Parc de Bercy is Paris's tenth largest park.

It is accessible by Bercy and Cour Saint-Émilion Métro stations, as well as by a foot bridge to the Mitterrand site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) on the other side of the Seine.

The AccorHotels Arena, colloquially known as Bercy in Paris, is located on the park's northern edge.

[3] The park consists of three gardens designed by architects Bernard Huet, Marylène Ferrand, Jean-Pierre Feugas and Bernard Le Roy, assisted by landscapers Ian Le Caisne and Philippe Raguin between 1993 and 1997: In the northeast of the park stands the Cinémathèque Française (the former American Center) designed by Frank Gehry; on the raised terraces are the 21 sculptures of Rachid Khimoune's "Children of the World" installation, created in 2001 to honour children's rights.

The area used to be an important location for Paris wine warehouses; some remains of the industry can still be seen in the park.
