Cemetery Bercy

The Cemetery of Bercy opened in eighteen sixteen while the area was still an independent commune separate from the city of Paris. It serves as a quiet record of the neighborhood's past as a center for the global wine trade. Many of the people buried here were prominent wine merchants and coopers who once managed the vast warehouses that dominated this riverfront district. You will find their resting places marked by symbols of their trade, offering a glimpse into the vanished world of a village that thrived before its official incorporation into Paris in eighteen sixty.
