Coulée verte, markets and woods
12th district: Reuilly
The 12th district moves from Viaduc des Arts and the Coulée verte to Parc de Bercy and Bois de Vincennes. These green spaces are separated: build the outing around one main axis.
The four administrative quarters
- Bel-Air
- Picpus
- Bercy
- Quinze-Vingts
These administrative names do not always match the informal areas used in everyday conversation.
Administrative area: approximately 16.31 km². This is an area measurement, not a walking distance. Official district dataset, source record dated 2026-10-06.
Choose one of the main green clusters
Aligre Market, the Coulée verte and Parc de Bercy suggest different outings. To limit travel, pair Aligre with the planted promenade, or Bercy with the Cinémathèque and the crossing towards the BnF.
Check changes in level
The raised promenade is not the same terrain as the park or woods. Locate the access points and exits that suit your group before committing to the whole walk.
