For one year now, Paris and it's nearby suburbs have been able to take advantage of the Velib'. It's nearly free and it allows you to pick up a bicycle, use it for as far as you need and drop it off again when you reach the end of your journey. There are around 14,000 bicycles, and pick-up / drop-off stations every 300 metres or so all over Paris. There are 5 stations right next to Bercy, which makes it an excellent way to get to the show.

If you must take your car: From the city centre, drive along the quays to Palais-Omnisport de Paris-Bercy (venue is by the river). From the Peripherique, exit at Porte de Bercy. There is private parking under Bercy.
