Gare de Bercy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gare de Bercy is a railway station and terminus in Paris, France, run by the SNCF. It specialises in “auto-trains”, which transport traveller's vehicles, such as cars, motorbikes, scooters and so on, and to another such station. After an important restoration, it has become, since July 2002, the seventh largest Parisian station, by accommodating the four daily sleeper trains between Paris and Italy.
The station was previously designed for sleeper trains, as it allowed passengers to leave their cars at the station from which their train would depart. This is not generally possible at any of the other Parisian terminal stations, which were never adapted to this purpose.
The French trains travel to Avallon via Laroche-Migennes, Sens, and Auxerre. The international overnight trains to Italy travel to: Rome via Parma and Florence, as well as to Venice and Milan.
It is located in the Bercy area of the 12th arrondissement, close to the Bercy sports arena, at 48 bis Boulevard de Bercy. It is close to the Gare de Lyon. Access from the Paris Métro is by Line 6 or Line 14 to Bercy station.
