The Tolbiac area has regressed at the level of art : the galleries have left ; there remains the high-tech area along the Seine : the enormous Mitterand Library site of the Bibliothèque Nationale with its attractive graphics exhibitions, the Cité de la Mode (fashion quarter, and design exibitions, too) at the water’s edge (called Lezard -lizard, because his green color), some temporary exhibition centres and an Architectural University is just before the Peripherique (first highway belt). A footbridge across the Seine allows one to go to the Bercy area, with its beautiful gardens, restaurants and convivial atmosphere
