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
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.
