Versailles on Sundays is the château drawing tourists from around the world, but also a calm, bourgeois residential town with its cobbled streets, its markets, and a very Île-de-France way of life. For Versailles remote workers (and there are many, just 20 minutes from Paris on the RER C), Sunday is often the day you wrap up the week. Here's where to set up your computer.
The Stray Bean
Rue Royale, a stone's throw from the château. A speciality coffee shop on one of Versailles' most elegant streets, with a warm atmosphere. On Sundays, it's open from 9:30am to 5pm.
The most charming Sunday coffee shop in Versailles.
Long Story
Rue du Maréchal Foch, near the Notre-Dame market. A coffee shop that turns into a cocktail bar in the evening. According to its listing, it opens on Sundays from 9am to 1am: aim for the daytime to work.
The Sunday spot with the longest hours in Versailles.
Stop Work
Parvis Colonel Arnaud Beltrame, near the station. A coworking space accessible 24/7 for its members, Sundays included.
The 24/7 coworking space in Versailles.
Angelina
Château de Versailles, 1st floor of the Pavillon d'Orléans. A tearoom inside the château itself, accessible only with an entry ticket. On Sundays, it's open from 10am to 6pm (closed on Monday). Not the most practical for a work marathon, but for a short session in a royal setting, it's unbeatable.
The most royal Sunday spot in France (literally).
