What if you truly separated your office from your home?
Coworking space and shared office for remote work
Discover
Remote work at La Cordée
Working remotely doesn't have to mean staying home alone. At La Cordée, you set up your laptop in a coworking space designed for work, with a friendly vibe that breaks the isolation. You keep the freedom of remote work, without the downsides.
Remote work, coworking, shared office: what's the difference?
These three terms are often confused. In reality, one describes a way of working, and the other two describe a place.
- Remote work is a way of organizing work: you work outside your employer's usual premises. At home, or elsewhere.
- Coworking is a place: a shared workspace with services (internet, meeting rooms, coffee) and a community of people from different backgrounds.
- A shared office refers to the workstation itself, shared within a common space: you don't have a desk assigned in your name (or you do have a dedicated desk, depending on your plan), but you have everything you need to work.
In other words: coworking and shared offices are two ways to work remotely somewhere other than home. At La Cordée, you work remotely in a professional setting, surrounded by people, without the constraints of a corporate office.
Why work remotely from a coworking space rather than from home?
Working 100% from home sounds like a dream on paper, much less so in practice. In 2021, only 9% of French people said they were attracted to a fully home-based model. Isolation, a lack of breaks and the blurry line between work and personal life end up taking their toll.
Coworking offers a simple, healthy answer to these limits, as confirmed by France Tiers-Lieux's report "Remote working in third places" (in French). You keep the flexibility of remote work, but in a place made for working, with people around and an enriching atmosphere!
Can a team of remote employees work from a coworking space?
Are you a business owner, HR director or office manager whose teams work remotely, far from headquarters? Coworking saves you from opening and managing offices in every city. Your employees get access to a professional space close to home, and your company expands its reach in new areas: visibility, new contacts, new hires, without having to manage premises!

What coworking changes in your day-to-day
Professional equipment for everyone
Working from home isn't equal for everyone: a spacious office or a corner of the table, an ergonomic chair or the couch, a quiet room or the family living room. At La Cordée, everyone gets the same equipment: high-speed internet, ergonomic furniture, meeting rooms, phone booths, printer…
A friendly vibe and well-being at work
Social moments and activities punctuate the week: we suggest, you decide! According to our 2023 survey, 80% of coworkers found a supportive, positive community that gives them a boost. At La Cordée, you feel at home, without being at home!
A real work-life balance
The commute between home and the coworking space gives you time to decompress: your day starts when you arrive and ends when you leave. The line between work and home becomes clear again. Our spaces are downtown, easy to reach by public transit, by bike or on foot.
