It is a place where greedy pleasures and cultures coexist in joy and good humor.** ## **A unique part of Paris** Before becoming the leading concept for stores and recreation in Paris, the Bercy neighborhood was initially an immense, very busy wine market for over a century, until 1960. Bercy Village still shows traces of its past life, with its 42 white stone warehouses located in the Cour Saint-Emilion, all listed historic monuments. The Cour Saint-Emilion and its 25,000 m2 of space were renovated in the late 1990s, to modernize the facilities and install a different sort of commercial center, one that combines the pleasures of shopping, recreation and culture, with exhibitions and various activities and of course, meetings. It was a successful gamble, since Bercy Village celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2012! ![](https://blog.parisattitude.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Bercy-village_D-Cocatrix-480x319.png?width=1024&height=681&name=Bercy-village_D-Cocatrix-480x319.png) Credit D Cocatrix **A nice combination of shopping and recreation** Bercy Village is a welcoming place, where visitors can relax on the patios, admire the art galleries, take part in various activities, indulge in a little shopping trip, have a nice meal among friends and you can even paint a painting! **The boutiques **Over the 42 warehouses in the Cour Saint-Emilion, 36 are currently reserved for shops. Food, culture and gifts, fashion and accessories but also housewares, with its cooking and decoration stores and even the new concept store by [Fragonard](http://www.parisattitude.com/blog/french-culture/great-parisian-perfume-markers,2021.aspx), the famous Parisian perfumer.
