Courbevoie is a city of two faces. On one side, the towers of La Défense and their armies of office workers. On the other, old Courbevoie with its shopping streets, markets and neighbourhood cafés. In between, a handful of workspaces that let you get work done outside your home without necessarily ending up in a corporate open-plan office on the 35th floor. Freelancers gravitating around the business district, employees working remotely who want to avoid the commute to the office, or independent workers based in the area: Courbevoie has something for you.

The city is exceptionally well connected (metro line 1, La Défense, tram T2, RER A) and offers an interesting mix of structured coworking spaces and more relaxed cafés. Here are our 3 spots for getting work done in Courbevoie.

Wojo La Défense Esplanade

Esplanade du Général de Gaulle, in the Cœur Défense tower. Wojo offers a coworking space bookable by the hour or day with no membership, plus meeting rooms.

Open Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 7pm. Closed at weekends.

The network coworking space right by Esplanade de la Défense metro.

Hotel Easywork Mercure Paris La Défense

30 rue Baudin, on the Courbevoie side. The Mercure Paris La Défense hotel hosts an Easywork space (Wojo network) that you can book by the hour or half-day, with wifi and power outlets. Handy for fitting in a short session between two meetings without a coworking membership.

The by-the-hour back-up office, a few minutes from the towers.

Niagara Café

Boulevard Saint-Denis, near the Courbevoie Hôtel de Ville. Le Niagara is a lively neighbourhood café with the atmosphere of a classic Parisian brasserie.

It's a café before it's a workspace, so no guaranteed power outlets or dedicated Wi-Fi, but the atmosphere and hours make it a good backup plan for short sessions or end-of-day work.

The lively café for working an hour or two in the energy of the neighbourhood.
