The 17th arrondissement is a study in contrasts. From les Batignolles with its village feel and pedestrian streets, to the more Haussmannian and bourgeois Ternes-Wagram area, the livelier Guy Môquet-Epinettes district and the Porte de Clichy undergoing urban transformation — you shift from one world to another in just a few metro stops. Les Batignolles in particular has become a hub for freelances and remote workers who appreciate the neighbourhood's laid-back atmosphere.

The 17th isn't the first arrondissement that springs to mind for remote work in Paris, but les Batignolles changes the game. The neighbourhood is packed with welcoming cafés, and a handful of well-positioned coworking spaces round out the offer. We've done a full tour of the arrondissement to bring you 10 spots worth the visit.

Café Pimpin

Rue Guy Môquet, quartier des Epinettes. Café Pimpin is a cosy café with thoughtful decor, a varied menu of drinks and food, and a warm welcome for laptops. The Wi-Fi is solid, power outlets are available, and the atmosphere stays quiet and studious. Prices are gentle, making it easy to come back regularly without breaking the bank.

Recommended by Les Batignolles and Wicofi. Open Tuesday to Friday from 8:30am to 5:30pm, weekends and Monday from 11am to 5:30pm (6pm on Monday). It's a neighbourhood café that welcomes digital nomads with a smile.

La Galerie

Boulevard Pereire, quartier Pereire. La Galerie is a minimalist cocoon designed for creativity. The space is clean and uncluttered, with an all-you-can-drink buffet of drinks and snacks included, high-speed internet, and understated but elegant decor. Peace and quiet are guaranteed, and the atmosphere is studious.

Recommended by Le Bonbon and Ubiq among Parisian café-coworking spaces. Open Monday to Friday (closed weekends), with hours from 10am to 7:30pm. It's a structured workspace suited to full days of focused work.

Recommended by Instinct Voyageur among bars to work in in northern Paris. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 5pm (12pm on weekends). It's an end-of-afternoon and evening spot, not a morning one.
