Bercy Lot: the coolest collective garden in Paris is making a comeback!
A tavern, open-air bar, living space, shared gardens with vegetable garden and greenhouses, this hybrid third place designed by four associations Yes We Camp, Aurore, {7 }Coup de Pousses (Plant B) and Petite Lune (La Javelle) delight both local residents and Ile-de-France residents looking for a fun and responsible outing.
Here, nothing is the same: between recycled furniture, disco balls and creations, the garden offers us a teeming and vibrant patchwork of colors. On a former SNCF wasteland, spread over 9,000 m² of gardens, the project will see the light of day in 2022 with the ambition of bringing new life to the Bercy-Charenton district, which has been dormant for some time. And it’s done! The third place has become a place for reunions and sharing around a delicious pizza straight from the bread oven, to the frenzied rhythm of concerts and costume balls organized by La Javelle. Jazz concerts, hip-hop, funk, DJ sets, karaoke evenings, brass bands, designer markets and stand-up shows, Javelle offers a rich and varied cultural program, and above all free!
Young and old, everyone can find something to suit them with the myriad of activities offered by the associations. For those with a green thumb (or not), the resource center, offered by Le Plant B, organizes DIY and gardening workshops to create your own hanging garden or even kokedamas, real plant works of art. For the little ones, meet every Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. for La Javelle does its fair with an introduction to graffiti with the artist Dods and creative workshops with makeup and disguises.
If you are not yet convinced, opt for ping-pong, a treasure hunt, a tasting of the honey produced on site by CityBzz and much more…
