Bateau Phare
Batofar
This little red lighthouse boat hosts dance and chill electronic music and other multimedia cultured events and has been one of the coolest spots around for some time. It was closed in or around 2018 but reopened in 2024 under a new name, "le Bateau Phare," that sounds just like the old one, "le Batofar." The dance floor is in the hold, a restaurant is above it, and the lounge on the upper deck. There is also a restaurant on the quai called "La Terrasse" that is open from May to October.

Jardin Yitzhak Rabin
Nestled in the centre of the Parc Bercy (below) is a lovely, and truly peaceful, garden with several waterworks and other high-quality landscape-art pieces. If you are one of the many people visiting the 12th on business it would be well worth an hour of your time between meetings and dinner to explore the mound, the fountain, and the bridges, and to watch children play in complete peace, much like the peace to which the garden's namesake dedicated his life.
