Location
Known under the name of Bercix between the 12th and 14th centuries, in the 17th century, this area’s wine trade developed thanks to the efforts of Martin, a winemaker from Burgundy, who petitioned King Louis XIV to lift taxes on the wine sold from here, while its reputation as an international wine market grew greater and greater thanks to its proximity to the capital and direct access to the river and railways, making it possible to ship wine and liquors wholesale from France and other regions of the world.
However, the end of the tax concession in 1860 and marketing campaigns focused on “chateau-bottled” wines in 1960 would cause trouble for the warehouses, which were gradually abandoned. Luckily, an immense urban requalification project of the Bercy neighbourhood, launched in 2000, breathed fresh air back into an area, which not only combines history with modernity, but is set back from the Parisian tumult and, yet, connected to all its major hubs, thanks to the metro line 14.
Description
As for the sunny flat, it features a balanced and functional layout, whereas its foyer, with a little more than 8 m², provides access, on the right, to a modern, semi-open kitchen, of nearly 10 m², which gives on to a 10-m² dining room. Extended by a terrace that externally links these two rooms, on the left side of the foyer, a living room, of approximately 27 m², also gives on to a terrace and creates a comfortable living environment.
In addition, on the flat’s right side, a hallway leads to two initial bedrooms, each with more than 12 m², while a bathroom, of nearly 5 m², comes with a bathtub and a double vanity. The flat’s opposite wing contains the main bedroom, which extends over a little more than 18 m² and boasts its own shower room with lavatory, of approximately 4 m², whereas another lavatory can be found in the middle of the flat. It should be noted that the property also comes with a cellar and a parking space.
Our opinion
This comfortable and modern flat is located in the Bercy Village neighbourhood, renowned for its charming ambiance and tourist appeal thanks to its pedestrian-friendly streets, which are ideal for strolling, lined with the “Village’s” bars, restaurants and shops, while it is also possible to catch up on some culture in the neighbourhood’s multiplex cinema.
As for Bercy’s landscaped gardens, providing access to its multimedia library and carrousel, they are an invitation to continue walking all the way to the 13th arrondissement across the river, by way of the Simone de Beauvoir footbridge, overlooking the quays of the Seine, the latter of which are the perfect place to spend late summer evenings amongst friends.
