Reims, the city of champagne, the cathedral, and a dynamism that just keeps confirming itself. 45 minutes from Paris by TGV, the city is attracting more and more digital nomads who enjoy the Champagne lifestyle without losing their connection to the capital. The city centre is compact, pleasant to walk around, and spots to set up your laptop are growing at a good pace. Freelancers who left Paris for the calm, remote workers splitting time between Reims and the capital, Sciences Po or Neoma students looking for a quiet corner, the city is starting to offer real options.

What's great about Reims is that everything is walkable in the centre. Place d'Erlon, Rue de Vesle, the station quarter, distances are short and the best addresses are clustered within a reasonable area. We've done the rounds and tracked down the places worth your time. Here are 4 spots to work in Reims.

L'occasion café

Rue de Vesle, on the main axis of the city centre. L'occasion café is a café specifically designed for remote work, and that changes everything. The productivity-focused space is set up so you can work comfortably: reliable Wi-Fi, accessible power outlets, and a consistently quiet atmosphere. The coffee is good, the pastries are tempting, and the vibe is that of a place that genuinely understands what a remote worker needs. Prices are reasonable, so you can stay as long as you like.

Recommended by L'Union, Reims.cc, and L'occasion's own website in their selections. Open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 6pm. Closed Sunday. It offers one of the best value-for-money-plus-atmosphere combinations in Reims for remote work.

The perfect spot if you want a café designed from the ground up for remote work, at gentle prices.

La Capsule

Rue de la Magdeleine, in the centre. La Capsule is a welcoming shared workspace created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. The atmosphere is warm, regular events keep the community alive, and your first day is free, perfect for trying it out before committing. Fast Wi-Fi, power outlets, quiet, and a setting designed for concentration.

Recommended by Passion Télétravail and Reims.cc. Open Monday to Thursday from 9am to 6pm, Friday until 5pm. Closed weekends. It's a weekday coworking space, structured and professional, with an active community that regularly organises meetups between coworkers.

Ideal for entrepreneurs and freelancers who want to try a coworking space with no commitment and a real community spirit.

Holy Shot Coffee Shop

Rue de Talleyrand, in the city centre. Holy Shot is a cosy café with homemade pastries and carefully prepared coffee. The atmosphere is warm, the setting is thoughtfully done, and Wi-Fi is available. It's the kind of place where you come in for a coffee and stay two hours without noticing, absorbed by your work and the charm of the spot.

The coffee is excellent, the homemade pastries are worth the visit, and the vibe lends itself to light work or creative sessions. It's more of a café than a coworking space, so don't expect power outlets at every table, but for relaxed morning work sessions, it's a great choice.

A treat of a café for relaxed work sessions in a warm setting.

The Coffee Champ'

Galerie d'Erlon, right in the centre. The Coffee Champ' is an original coffee shop that blends specialty coffee and champagne, we are in Reims, after all. The pastries are homemade, the setting is pleasant, and Wi-Fi is available. It's more of a pleasure-oriented spot than a pure productivity space, but for relaxed work sessions with a good coffee in hand, it's a great choice.

Open every day, from 10am to 6pm on weekdays (6:30pm on Saturday, 5pm on Sunday). The Galerie d'Erlon location is central and convenient.

Reims's most original spot, specialty coffee and champagne in a central setting.
