Bercy Village has been described as a "faux French village in the heart of Paris," but there's nothing faux about it: The urban-renewal project in the 12th arrondissement, next to the modern Parc de Bercy and the Seine, consists largely of small wine warehouses from the late 19th Century that have been saved from decay by conversion into shops and restaurants. It's a great place to spend a few hours, especially if you have more than a passing interest in urban design, architecture, or retailing.

Museums and monuments close to the congress venue

Medieval Museum in Paris - Cluny thermal baths & hotel
Flash forward to the Middle Ages…
The Medieval Museum in Paris is located near the Sorbonne, in the Hotel de Cluny which was itself established near Paris's Gallo-Roman bathhouses. It was founded in 1843 and displays art collections donated to the state over the years.
Thanks to a steady stream of acquisitions and donations, the museum covers a large range of Medieval art and culture ranging from the Gaulish era to the 15th century: sculptures, tapestries, stained-glass, illuminated manuscripts, etc.
In 2000 a garden was landscaped, surrounding the museum with a lush, natural space; it was designed by Eric Ossart and Arnaud Maurières.

Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris
The subject of legend and history.
With its two majestic towers, its sky-scraping steeple and flying butresses, its stained glass windows and great organ, Notre Dame is one of the most fascinating buildings in Paris.
Situated on the Ile de la Cité, the building's construction dates from the early 11th century and is a fine example of early Gothic architecture. The cathedral was restored in the 19th century, after suffering significant damage during the French Revolution.
It was at this time that Victor Hugo published his historical novel Notre Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), featuring the famous characters of Esmerelda and Quasimodo the bell-ringer.
The cathedral rapidly became one of the most appreciated monuments in Paris, both for the French and for tourists from further afield.
The archeological crypt is well worth a visit, and don't forget to look out for "point zero": the point from which all distances are calculated within the French road system.

European Photography Centre
Museum
Situated in the heart of Paris's historic centre, the European Photography Centre is dedicated to contemporary creation.
This is an example of a new breed of cultural establishments, a haven for art and artists from all walks of life. It is at once an exhibition centre, a library, a video library and an auditorium. This is a place dedicated to the concept of "looking", giving visitors an easy experience of photography as it is broken into its three mediums: exhibition prints, page prints, and film.

Carrousel of the Louvre
A bright gallery.
Opened in 1994, the Carrousel of the Louvre brings together a commercial gallery (shops, restaurants) and events space giving visitors of the Louvre a nice spot to relax and eat or drink. The gallery was designed to imitate the Louvre's classic style and is a light-filled space thanks to the sky lights offered by I.M. Pei's pyramid.

Sainte-Chapelle - Holy Chapel
A reliquary of particular importance.
Built in the second half of the 13th century under Louis IX, the Sainte-Chapelle is in fact a reliquary. It was in 1239 that the soon-to-be-sainted Louis purchased the Crown of Thorns from the Emperor of Constantinople. This sparked an initiative to raise an actual reliquary, a monumental construction to honour the artefact.
The Sainte-Chapelle was built in the centre of the royal palace on the Ile de la Cité; construction was complete by 1248. Made up of two chapels one on top of the other, this original design became an inspiration for many architects. The Palatine Chapel, on the top floor, has a wonderful set of stained glass with magnificent iconography. Over 15 metres in height, it is like being inside a cage of coloured glass.
Metro stop: Cité.
