Working from Paris: Our Offices, Clubs, and Cafés

We ourselves work remotely for part of the year, so this guide is not theoretical: it is our actual routine, tested over entire seasons. Quietly, Paris has become one of the best cities in the world for remote work (fiber everywhere, sumptuous libraries, cafés that take the craft seriously), in a setting London and New York will never be able to contest.

The foundation is the apartment: measured fiber speeds, a real desk, a real chair, natural light. For video calls, it is unbeatable: at the Jewel you look up at the Église Saint-Paul between meetings; at the Haven of Peace, the silence of the courtyard replaces your noise-canceling headphones. Eighty percent of our working days happen right there.

For the remaining twenty percent, when you need the energy of an office: WeWork and Morning cover central Paris with day passes; Morning, the local player, often occupies spectacular buildings worth the visit in themselves, and several locations sit within a quarter of an hour of both our doors. For deep concentration, nothing beats the Salle Ovale at the BnF Richelieu: free, no registration, a glass rotunda above twenty thousand volumes — quite possibly the most beautiful office in Europe.

The rhythm that works, we stole from the Parisians: deep work at home in the morning, a proper lunch (never in front of a screen — the entire city will see to that), afternoons in a café or coworking space. And if your team is in New York, the six-hour time difference works in your favor: free mornings, synchronized afternoons, evening calls with the windows open onto the city. Adapters, power strips, and a second screen are available on request: just write to us. Well organized, working from Paris is not a compromise — it is an upgrade.
