Bercy Park, Paris city center
Bercy Park is a huge park in Paris. It is very special because under its name it includes 3 different gardens.
What I like about this park is that it is very beautiful and a place to visit in Paris. Plus, I love that it is in the center of the city!
You can take a cruise on the Seine and then go to Bercy park. It is very close to Palais Omnisports and Bercy Village shopping mall.
As I mentioned before, what is special about Bercy is that you can visit 3 different gardens designed by different architects. Bernard Huet, Jean-Pierre Feugas, Bernard Leroy and Madeleine Ferrand designed this park with Le Caine and Philippe Raguin. The three different gardens you can visit are:
- Jardin Romantique, where can walk along ponds and dunes;
- Panthers, where you can be fascinated by the Botanique garden;
- Les Prairies, a green area where you can explore huge lawns.
If you are an architecture lover, go visit the Cinémathèque Françaises designed by Frank Gehry!
Plus, if you want to visit the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (i.e. Library of France) you can go there by crossing the Simone-de-Beauvoir footbridge.
