10 Things to do in Bercy / Nation That You Shouldn't Miss
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Foodies flock to Marché d'Aligre, a lively and authentic outdoor Parisian market housed in the city’s authentic-feeling 12th arrondisement, or district, and located near the Bastille. Here you’ll find everything from fresh cheeses, spices and flowers to vintage apparel.

We enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers and produce, but even more, we loved the flea market! We spent 2 hours here on a Tuesday morning looking at clothes, housewares, jewelry, etc. We dickered with the vendors and came home with some terrific bargains: a leather trench coat, a haute-couture runway dress, a huge silk scarf, a large tin tart pan, a silver ring...These are our favorite souvenirs from Paris, and they are so much nicer and more unique than the made-in-China souvenirs on every street corner!

It's a very big park and easily accessible from the city centre. You can enjoy a bike ride int the park. The chateau and the chapelle is also worth seeing.

this amazing collection of antique carousel and fairground attractions is real treasure chest of goodies. Of interest to all ages it really is a step back in time and all beautifully presented and laid out in stunning wine warehouses a few metro sops from the centre of Paris It is a working museum with the opportunity to see, hear, touch and ride on some magical fairground rides but more than that as totally unique and artistically presented. The tours are conducted in French but the lovely, passionate staff (Libere) really do help explain and include English speaking visitors. The website does not do it justice and it is important to book in advance. This wonderful collection deserves way more publicity as a great alternative to some of the busier and stuffy museums and tourist attractions - do go and see for yourself and come away smiling 16 francs for 2 hours of fun - no-brainer thank you and well done to the owners for saving such unique works of art and history - bon chance

We found this park just walking and entering. It was a great experience and my daughter had a blast, especially looking at the fishes in the pond. This is a big park and you need time to explore all the sides. We need to go back and explore other parts of park. There is a lot to spend time. There are bathrooms, swings, places to sit and enjoy lunch or just have a nice picnic. I think I didn't even know about this before, but it was great to find it. I hope you do enjoy it!

Absolutely stunning visually, peaceful. A delightful moment of relaxation & escape, if only for a few minutes. However, I spent half of my morning simply wondering the grounds. A light drizzle moved in and though the tourists may have been scurrying away, the joggers, locals and wildlife carried on. I felt so relaxed and unhurried. I watched swans and geese being fed nearly by hand. I videoed a crow devour a deceased rat. Hey, it's Paris. Of COURSE there are rats. A very short walk from Porte Dorée with its light-rail stop - exempt from the Paris Metro Strike - this quick getaway is a spot I shall revisit, once COVID has moved on and I'm allowed back into Paris. I have a new love in my life. She will adore this space. I'm sure you will as well. I bid you Peace. ~Jan 1, 2020

Coulée Verte René Dumont an elevated park/walk starting on the top of an old railway viaduct, (viaduc des arts) a fabulous walk with, no scooters or bikes and only a couple of joggers. We did a couple of kms (the walk totals 4.7 km if you go right to the end), we stopped at Jardin de Reuilly Paul Pernin, (a beautiful green space, where we stopped for lunch), the walk continues over a pedestrian bridge for another 2k’s, continuing along the Coulée Verte René Dumont, finishing near Boulevard Périphérique.
