Let’s take a leap into history with the exhibition Les Chais de Bercy
There’s nothing quite like discovering the vibrant history of Bercy Village through images. Originally, Bercy, and more specifically the Saint-Émilion courtyard, hosted the largest wine market in the world with over 6,500 people working there. Designed in collaboration with the Roger-Viollet Agency, the exhibition Les Chais de Bercy is set outdoors under the covered walkways, allowing visitors to trace the history of this place through about thirty photographs. From the layout of the wine warehouses to how barrels were transported, including the faces of the workers and the organization during the Great War, no detail is overlooked in these black and white snapshots.
Let your creativity flow through the workshops&.
Throughout the months of July and August, the Guinguette de Bercy Village will be lively with a rich program of creative workshops. Offered on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2 PM to 6 PM, you can try your hand at making mini bouquets of dried flowers, personalizing a fan, creating festive garlands or a disco lantern, or even painting on coasters. To dive deeper into the world of wine, you can also join in on creating a wine label, DIYing a cork magnet, or painting with wine. All these workshops are free to join!
Let’s dance, again and again

The concerts are free to enjoy!are given every Thursday from 6 PM to 7 PM. It'll be a wonderful opportunity to perhaps discover new artists, so let yourself be carried away!
