Les Pavillons de Bercy - Musée des Arts Forains

The Pavillons de Bercy are distinguished by their historic red-brick walls and vaulted openings, structures originally built in the nineteenth century as wine warehouses for what was once the largest wine market in the world. Designed by the architect Louis-Ernest Lheureux, a student of Gustave Eiffel, these former cellars now house the Musée des Arts Forains. The space holds a vast private collection of nineteenth and twentieth-century fairground objects, including centuries-old merry-go-rounds, wooden horse carousels, and mechanical musical instruments.
