The station is located in the 12th arrondissement, on the right bank of the river Seine, in the east of Paris. It is located a short distance from Gare de Lyon and serves as an annex of the larger station, helping to relieve the traffic in the busy station. The station is on the Paris–Marseille railway and hosts Intercités long-distance trains and TER Bourgogne-Franche-Comté regional trains. Trains depart from six tracks labeled with letters from P to V (tracks A to L are located inside Gare de Lyon).

The station is named after the Bercy neighborhood where it is located, and the subtitle name refers to the Bourgogne (English: Burgundy) and Auvergne regions that are served by trains departing from this station. The station is close to the Bercy Arena, a short distance from the Gare de Bercy–Seine intercity bus terminal, and offers connections to Line 6 and Line 14 of the Paris Métro at the Bercy Métro station.
