In Millau, at the foot of the famous viaduct, you can find places to work away from home between two escapes into the gorges. Coworking options are limited at the moment, but several welcoming cafes and the media library do the job very well. Here are our addresses for setting up your laptop, getting connected and making steady progress.
Cafes where you can settle in to work
For a morning of work or a few quiet hours, Millau has nice cafes and tea rooms where you can settle in. Our favourites: Il Cafetino, a cafe, tea room and ice cream shop right in the centre (rue du Mandarous), with a terrace; ZESTE, a tea room and patisserie on boulevard de l'Ayrolle, open early (closed on Mondays); and Chez Louloute, a cosy spot on boulevard de Bonald. Aim for the morning, when it is less busy, and don't hesitate to ask for a quiet table.
The free option: the Sud-Aveyron media library
Don't feel like buying anything? The Sud-Aveyron media library, esplanade François Mitterrand, is open to everyone: free computer stations and quiet work areas, at no cost. Mind the opening hours (closed on Mondays and Thursdays), and keep in mind that you can't take calls there. Ideal for a studious session.
In short
In Millau, count on Il Cafetino, ZESTE or Chez Louloute for a coffee-and-laptop session in the centre, and on the Sud-Aveyron media library for working in peace for free. As for coworking, the offer is changing: we update this page as soon as a new day-access address opens. To choose between a cafe and a dedicated space, see our guide cafe or coworking.
