Bercy

Bercy combines public venues, offices, housing and several transport routes. The neighbourhood changes markedly between working hours, event nights and quieter periods. None of these rhythms is enough to describe the whole area.

Les Tours reads here a form of Paris built through successive functions. For the Kindred, this organisation makes some meetings easier and part of the movement predictable. It also creates areas where an unexpected presence stands out more clearly. Access is tied to schedules, tickets or identifiable activities. Bercy therefore provides efficient routes, but few excuses for anyone found in the wrong place without a credible reason.
