On Sundays, most cafés pull the shutters down and offices are closed. Yet it's often the day you want to get ahead in peace: finish a report, revise, wrap up a side project. The good news is that there are still options all over France, you just need to know where to look. We've gathered here, city by city, the spots that stay open at the weekend: 24/7 coworking spaces, cafés that welcome laptops on Sundays, and a few reliable fallback venues.

In short: to work on a Sunday, three options work almost everywhere, a 24/7 coworking space (badge or code, you come in whenever, even when it's closed to the public), a café open on Sunday that welcomes remote workers, or a library / community space open at the weekend. Below, the list of cities where we've found these addresses.

How to find a spot open on Sunday

Three kinds of venue play the game at the weekend. Pick according to your need:

  • The 24/7 coworking space. The safest option for a real day's work. Many spaces give members (and sometimes day-pass holders) a badge or access code: you get in on Sunday even when reception is closed. Reliable wifi, sockets, guaranteed quiet. Ideal if you're putting in the hours.
  • The café open on Sunday. Friendlier, perfect for one to three hours. Check two things before you go: that it's actually open on Sunday (many close), and that it welcomes laptops (some tolerate them poorly during the brunch rush). We flag the laptop-friendly spots city by city.
  • The library or community space. Free or nearly, often quiet, with wifi. Sunday hours vary by city, but it's a good fallback when the cafés are full.

One tip: on Sundays, the best slots are mid-morning and early afternoon. Late in the day, cafés that close early can leave you stranded, better to aim for a 24/7 coworking space if you plan to work late.
