 | | The Bercy blocks, each designed by a different architect, were highly publicized The Bercy site, however, also included a parallel row of less-well-known perimeter blocks behind the park frontage in a zone between street and the tracks and warehouses serving Gare d'Lyon. |
 | | Part of the idea behind the conversion of the Bercy wine storage yards and buildings, in addition to the creation of a major new public park, was to transform the eastern end of the site into a new commercial center, Bercy Expo, and to provide a new metró station, at this end of the park. |
 | | The row of blocks behind the original Bercy frontage were planned to provide a pedestrian connection to Bercy Expo, involving the renovation of part of the old wine warehouse district, an oblique double row of brick sheds at the east end of the park. |
