Montreuil is the creative city at the gates of Paris. Former workshops converted into studios, streets lined with street art, and a community of craftspeople, graphic designers and developers who have made lower Montreuil their playground. No wonder the city has become a haven for freelancers and independent workers. When you live in Montreuil, you don't want to take the metro all the way to Nation to find somewhere to open your laptop. You want a spot in your own city, with the energy that goes with it.

Montreuil has understood the assignment: between coworking spaces set up in former warehouses, cafés that welcome laptops without a second glance, and community spaces with a collaborative spirit, the offering is richer than you'd think. We've done the rounds. Here is our selection of 9 spots for working in Montreuil.

Ici Montreuil

Boulevard Chanzy, in upper Montreuil. Ici Montreuil is much more than a coworking space: it's a maker space, a shared workshop, a creative hub that buzzes constantly. 3D printer, laser cutting, woodworking and metalworking studios, but also classic workstations for those working on screen. The space is huge, installed in a former industrial building with volumes that give you room to breathe. You'll find craftspeople, designers, developers, creatives of all kinds. The energy is infectious.

Reliable Wi-Fi, power outlets everywhere, large tables, and the ability to eat on site. Open Monday to Friday, 9:30 am to 6 pm. The definitive reference in Montreuil for anyone looking for a workspace with character and an active community.

The place that sums up Montreuil in a single location: creative, collaborative, and alive.

O Bar Lié

Rue de la République, in lower Montreuil, the office district. O Bar Lié is a warm brasserie that welcomes laptops without batting an eye. Several rooms, terraces, a full menu for eating on site, and Wi-Fi. The atmosphere is lively without being noisy, with a relative calm that lets you focus, especially outside meal times.

Open Monday to Friday, 8 am to midnight. The wide opening hours are a real plus: you can come early for a morning session and stay late if the project overruns, then turn the end of the day into an after-work drink without moving from your seat.

A great option for working in a brasserie setting with generous hours.
