Issy-les-Moulineaux is one of those inner-ring Paris suburbs that has managed to reinvent itself. Squeezed between the 15e arrondissement and Boulogne-Billancourt, the city hosts the headquarters of major tech and media groups, giving it a dynamic economic fabric. The T2 tram and metro line 12 connect it well to Paris, and the banks of the Seine offer a pleasant living environment. For local freelances and remote workers, there are some solid options for working outside the home.

The offering here is concentrated on coworking, there aren't really any cafés specially designed for work, but well-equipped professional spaces that get the job done. Here are 2 addresses worth knowing.
