Where to work in Paris when you come for business

Coworking space, café or library, take your pick

The Historic Library of the City of Paris, located at 24 rue pavée in the 4th arrondissement, is ideal for working in the greatest of calm. An unusual and charming place with high ceilings, perfect for concentrating. In another genre, the Nuage Café in the 5th arrondissement and close to the Sorbonne is a coworking café where you pay 4€ per hour or 20€ per day and have unlimited access to drinks and snacks. 

The coworking lounge at Maison Mère, a 4* star hotel in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is completely free. You can enjoy the wifi while having a drink or a snack if you wish but there is no obligation!

Where to go out in Paris when travelling alone 

Museum nights, cinema, dinner in Paris and festive events 

After a full day of meetings you need to release the pressure, wouldn't a visit to a museum at night be the best idea to clear your mind? If you're a contemporary art fan, the Palais de Tokyo is open every day until midnight except on Tuesdays. If you're more into modern art, the Centre Pompidou is open every day until 9pm and on Thursdays until 11pm, and the famous Louvre opens its doors until 10pm on Wednesdays! If you don't mind going to a solo cinema, try the Grand Rex in the 9th arrondissement or the 5 Caumartins for arthouse films in cosy cinemas. 

Then enjoy a typical French dinner at Bouillon République: everything is homemade with excellent service. To extend the evening, walk to Gare de l'Est and take the metro line 7 to Cadet in the 9th arrondissement. The nearby streets are ideal for going out for a drink and meeting new people, such as rue des Martyrs or avenue Trudaine. If you're in the mood to go wild, check out Hey Honey, our festive restaurant and cocktail bar. You will find many events such as concerts, burlesque shows and bingo with the most Parisian of drag queens.

What to do in Paris when you have a busy business schedule 

Strolling, shopping or visiting unusual museums in Paris, bleisure at your fingertips

There's nothing like the Luxembourg or Tuileries gardens to stroll around or read a book in the sun on one of the famous green chairs. Fancy a bit of shopping? Discover the small designer boutiques in the Marais district and its typical streets such as rue des Archives, rue Vieille du Temple or rue des Francs-Bourgeois. If you don't have much time, visit the Paris Opera, the visit takes only about 45 minutes, the perfect time to take in the sights! In the same district of the 9th arrondissement of Paris, discover the Gustave Moreau museum, one of the most unusual in Paris, allowing you to take a real break of about 1 hour between your meetings.

And since you are already in the 9th arrondissement, take the opportunity to discover the Maison Mère hotel in the rue Mayran, a 15-minute walk from the Paris Opera. Our reception team will be able to send you our city guide on the Montholon district in order to discover its surroundings and its authentic district, where many unusual addresses are listed on our blog. Its perfect location will allow you to have quick access to the main boulevards where the Galeries Lafayette and Printemps are located, but also to Montmartre to see the typical Paris.
