The prefecture of the Hautes-Alpes and gateway to the Écrins, Gap is one of the highest and sunniest cities in France, where people come as much for work as for the outdoors. Between two mountain outings or a remote-work stay in the fresh air, you sometimes need to fit in a few quiet hours of work. The options center on a few good addresses in the center: a coworking space you can use by the day and two cafes where you can set up your laptop without any fuss. Here is our selection, recommended by the tourist office, whether you're a Gap local working remotely or just passing through the Southern Alps.

The coworking space: Au19

For a real working day, Au19 is the most solid spot in Gap. This town-center coworking space offers a free-access "nomad zone": you book and pay online, on your own, for day access at €20 excl. VAT (rate read on its website on September 29, 2026), with no subscription. It's at 19 rue du Colonel Roux, right in the center. It's the choice to favor whenever your day looks serious.

Cafes to set up your laptop

For a lighter morning over a good coffee, one place in the center stands out: Ô Café, on rue de France, presents itself as the first coffee shop in Gap, designed so that you can work there, with carefully made coffee, a warm setting, wifi and a few outlets. Arrive early in the day to have your pick of seats.

Working in Gap: practical tips

A few pointers to organize yourself. For a short session or a quiet morning, aim for the cafes early in the day, when it's calm. For a whole day, an important video call or simply more outlets and silence, Au19 remains the safest bet. Gap's center is quickly covered on foot, so you can easily move from one to the other depending on what you need at the moment. Keep a mobile hotspot as a backup for appointments you can't miss, and enjoy the Gap sunshine once your laptop is closed.
