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 already scouted and tested 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.
