History, art, romance, and Gallic tradition all coalesce in Paris, but the city is driven by modernity, too. Startup initiatives are thriving in Paris, which has ushered in new styles of working; hot desks, coworking spaces, shared offices, and remote employment are steadily gaining popularity as Parisian businesses launch themselves into the future.
Hot desks are used by entrepreneurs and established companies alike in Paris—all with the aim of increasing productivity. No longer is working in a single office a necessity, and business owners are utilizing hot desks as a way to hire remotely and keep employees productive as they travel. For those working for themselves, hot-desking provides the perks of office space—printers, amenities, meeting rooms, etc.—without the costs typically associated with leasing a traditional workspace.
WeWork’s hot-desk locations across Paris mirror the vibrancy of the surrounding streets. Custom art, beautiful designs, bright colors, and tranquil environments pay homage to the city’s past, and create an inspiring, energizing backdrop for your workday. Plus, flexible agreements and built-in community make settling in easy.
Here are five incredible hot-desking locations in Paris, buildings that will help you tap into your creativity and make your own success.
