The 9th arrondissement is a surprisingly varied territory for working away from home. Between the Nouvelle Athènes neighbourhood with its quiet streets lined with private mansions, the lively slopes of Pigalle heading up towards Montmartre, and the more commercial area around the Grands Magasins and Gare Saint-Lazare, you're spoilt for choice. Freelancers set up near rue des Martyrs, remote employees who need a change of scenery, students looking for a quiet corner between classes: the 9th has what you need.

The arrondissement has the particular quality of sitting at the crossroads of several Parisian atmospheres. Less touristy than its neighbours in the 1st or 2nd, livelier than the 8th when it comes to neighbourhood cafés, it offers a real network of spots designed for nomadic workers. Here is our selection of 7 spots, from coworking cafés to quiet corners for deep work.

Hubsy

Rue d'Amsterdam, a few minutes' walk from Gare Saint-Lazare. Hubsy is a coworking café that has found the right balance between the comfort of a living room and the efficiency of a workspace. The atmosphere is warm and studious, with Wi-Fi designed for work. Phone booths are available if you need to take a call without disturbing your neighbours. The coffee is roasted on-site, unlimited, and the snacks are free, a real luxury when you're spending the day somewhere.

Practically speaking, power outlets are well distributed, the large tables let you spread out without bothering anyone, and the atmosphere stays calm even when the room is full. Hubsy is recommended by Colivys, Freebe and Wicofi among the best coworking cafés in Paris. Open 7 days a week, from 8:45am to 8pm on weekdays and 10am to 8pm on weekends, you can come for a morning or a full day.
