Sofitel Paris Bercy - Paris, France     

Major developments in the 1980s included the Palais Omnisports stadium (1984) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (1989).

The 1990s sax the construction of the new National Library (1996), redevelopment of the Bercy Park (the "Garden of Memory") over 33 acres – Paris's largest redevelopment project since Baron Haussmann – ad the opening of the Ciné Cité Bercy multiplex (18 screens, 4.500 seats, movies in original language versions with subtitles).
An array of entertainment and exhibition areas (Musée des Arts Forains) have been created, while superb pavilions and warehouses are being converted into lifestyle boutiques and trendy restaurants.
A new footbridge will shortly link the National Library (quai François Mauriac) to the Parc de Bercy and the "Coulée Verte", a landscaped walking path that stretches several kilometers over the "Viaduc des Arts".
