🐾 PARIS 12E
Bercy / Bois de Vincennes
Metro: 1 · 6 · 8 · 14 · RER A
The 12th is the most dog-friendly arrondissement in eastern Paris thanks to the Bois de Vincennes (open to leashed dogs with several off-leash zones) and the Coulée verte René-Dumont, a 4.5 km elevated and ground-level green walkway. Parc de Bercy joined the dog-friendly list in December 2025. The area mixes old wine warehouses, modern Bercy Village and quiet residential streets.
