Cour Saint-Émilion is a station on Paris Métro Line 14, opened in 1998. It takes its name from the Saint-Émilion wine once traded through this part of Paris.
The station stands beneath the former Bercy wine district, where wine arrived by river and rail before being stored and sold from the great cellars and warehouses. Some of those historic warehouses survive nearby as Bercy Village.
For visitors, Cour Saint-Émilion is particularly useful as the best Métro station for Parc de Bercy and the enchanting Musée des Arts Forains, as well as Bercy Village itself.
A station with a surprisingly strong connection to the wine trade and a useful starting point for exploring one of Paris's more unusual neighbourhoods.
Happy Monday everyone!
