The Bercy district is an intriguing mix of tradition and innovation, green spaces and cultural venues. The rarely-visited Bercy district has many little-known places that are well worth discovering, right from the moment you emerge from the Bercy metro station (Line 14 or Line 6). Exit 4 leads out to Rue Henri Desgrange. Look down as you wander along this street – it is covered in pavement games in pretty pastel colours, drawn in 2018 as part of the Embellir Paris (Beautify Paris) call for projects to incorporate art into various streets and squares in the city. It’s an attractive preamble to this walk starting outside AccorHotels Arena, the prestigious sports and concert venue. Follow the guide!
