The feel of the district
The 12th owes its breathing space to the Bois de Vincennes, which alone makes up most of its area. From the Coulée verte René-Dumont to the Viaduc des Arts, from Bercy Village to the Aligre market, the arrondissement strings together walks and neighbourhood markets.
Families find three- and four-room apartments that are better sized than in the centre, in 1930s buildings and many more recent developments around Bercy and the Gare de Lyon. Picpus and Bel-Air remain the most residential areas.
