Nancy in May: that gentle Lorraine warmth settling in, the place Stanislas catching the sun as soon as it breaks through, and the city-centre coworking spaces bringing their tables out onto their terraces. The city has a surprisingly developed coworking scene for its size, and several addresses genuinely deliver on working outdoors.

We've toured the heart of the city and explored a few hidden gems to find the terraces worth visiting. Here are three addresses to keep in your Nancy favourites.

B'CoWorker

Rue de Newcastle, B'CoWorker is a 1,200 m² coworking centre with 40 workstations on three levels, accessible 24/7, with modular offices, meeting rooms, open plan, parking and a terrace. It's one of the most complete coworking spaces in the city.

Professional Wi-Fi, power outlets, guaranteed quiet, large tables, laptop obviously welcome, food, polished atmosphere. Google rating of 5 from 71 reviews, making it a local reference.

How to work well on a terrace in Nancy

Three useful rules in this city:

  • The continental climate creates big swings. Cool mornings, sometimes heavy afternoons. Bring an extra layer.
  • The city centre is concentrated. All the addresses are walkable, which makes switching atmospheres during the day simple.
  • Terraces are rare in cafés. The Nancy ecosystem has developed more on the coworking side. Plan your formula accordingly.
