Set on the banks of the Saône in Burgundy, Chalon-sur-Saône has a pleasant pedestrian center, a real cafe scene and the calm of a mid-sized town that feels good when you work away from home. The birthplace of photography thanks to Nicéphore Niépce, the city knows how to welcome people. Whether you are a Chalon local working remotely, passing through on the Burgundy route, or a freelancer looking for a quiet corner, you need a place to set up your laptop for a few hours, somewhere calm with wifi. We sorted through the coffee shops and tea rooms: here is our selection.
HAÏKA Coffee House
See the HAÏKA Coffee House listing
On rue du Blé, in the historic heart of town, HAÏKA is a specialty coffee shop with in-house roasting. Free wifi, a bright open room, a warm atmosphere: it is the go-to address for working over a good coffee, and it has been mentioned in the local press. Open Tuesday to Saturday (and Sunday morning).
Our favorite in Chalon for specialty coffee lovers.
Le Bon Moment
On rue Saint-Vincent, Le Bon Moment is a cozy tea room with pastel decor, rattan armchairs, brunches and afternoon snacks. It is the best-documented spot for remote work: wifi, and a setting the tourist office itself presents as ideal for working. Open every day, afternoon only on Monday.
The spot for a relaxed session in a soft, welcoming setting.
La Chokolateri
See the La Chokolateri listing
Right in the pedestrian area, on rue aux Fèvres, La Chokolateri is a tea room and chocolate shop with a terrace, organic coffees and rare teas. The setting is cozy and calm, ideal for a quiet work break. Remember to confirm the wifi on site if you plan to stay a while.
A good pick for a treat and a quiet break in the pedestrian zone.
