Green Bercy

This place is a giant indoor entertainment and sport theater called the P.O.P.B (for Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy). We also just call it "Bercy". It is where big concerts take place (up to 17 000 people can attend) and also sport events like the Paris tennis tournament. Located on the Seine bank in the 12th arrondissement it has been built with grass walls which gives it a spectacular an original look. They had to create special machine to mow the lawn.

Perhaps you can get a photo of the special mower -- that would be something to see.

The grass walls also make it much easier and less costly to control the inside temperatures.

«Louis» knows this spot well. He went to l'école bouglangerie et pâtisserie de Paris, also in Bercy.
