Capital of Gascony, perched above the Gers with its Sainte-Marie cathedral, its monumental staircase and the statue of D'Artagnan, Auch is a small prefecture full of charm. For remote work, let's be honest: there is no great density of dedicated places, but the historic centre has a few good addresses where you can set up your laptop for a few hours, from a coffee shop made for working to free options. Whether you are an Auch local working remotely or passing through on the Way of Saint James, here is our selection, recommended by the Grand Auch tourist office.
Coffee Shop Esperluette
See the Coffee Shop Esperluette page
On Rue Dessoles, in the historic heart of town, the Esperluette is the obvious spot to work in Auch. It is a specialty coffee shop with a clean design, and the tourist office presents it as suited to working. Homemade cookies and pastries, terrace in summer. Open Tuesday to Saturday.
Our favourite in Auch for a proper coffee-and-work session.
Médiathèque du Grand Auch
See the Médiathèque du Grand Auch page
On Place Saluste du Bartas, the Grand Auch media library is the free and calm option par excellence: tables and bright spaces for a studious session without spending a cent. Ideal when you want silence to get things done.
The free option for working in peace in the town centre.
The Tourist Office Relaxation Area
A local tip pointed out by the tourist office itself: on the first floor of the tourist office, place de la République, a free relaxation area provides a table and power outlets. Perfect for a connected break or answering a few emails between two visits, right in the centre.
The free, well-located fallback option.
L'Atelier de Naroques
See the L’Atelier de Naroques page
Facing the cathedral, place de la République, L'Atelier de Naroques is an organic bakery-patisserie with light lunch food (salads, quiches, tarts) and a local grocery. You can eat in, in a pleasant setting; it is more of a lunch stop than a long session, but it helps out during the day.
The spot for a lunch-and-work break facing the cathedral.
