Lyon, a strong base for setting up in France

Lyon is France's second-largest business hub after La Défense. Its central position and TGV hub make it an ideal base for covering the whole country: Marseille in under 2 hours, Paris in 2 hours, and the rest of Europe within reach by train from Part-Dieu station. Setting up in Lyon makes you accessible from everywhere, a key argument for sales teams and regional headquarters.

Coworking options in Lyon

• A desk in the open-plan area: a workstation in a shared space, the most flexible and cost-effective option.
• An enclosed private office: a closed room for one to a few people, confidential, with the venue's services.
• A private floor: an enclosed space dedicated to a whole team (up to several dozen desks).

Why choose coworking in Lyon?

The strength of coworking lies in its shared spaces and services: a small team gets premium amenities it could never have afforded in a conventional office, at a shared cost. In Lyon, the newer spaces in Part-Dieu and Confluence offer standards on a par with the best Paris addresses.

Meeting rooms can usually be booked on a shared basis (some sites also have private ones). A very flexible commitment (often from 1 month), with nothing to manage. And if your team grows, you can often expand within the same building.

Coworking in Lyon: where to set up?

Each neighbourhood has its own feel:

• La Part-Dieu (3rd arrondissement): the business heart, opposite the TGV station, with new towers, superb connections and business addresses par excellence.
• La Confluence (2nd): a modern district at the southern tip of the Presqu'île, with contemporary architecture, the banks of the Saône and a mix of offices, shops and culture.
• Gerland (7th): a life sciences and tech cluster, popular with innovative companies.
• The Presqu'île (1st, 2nd): the historic centre, with prestige addresses and a real neighbourhood feel.

In Lyon you'll find spaces run by Wojo, Wellio, Hiptown and Flex-O, as well as the IWG group brands (Spaces, Regus, HQ) present in most major cities. Desk to Desk helps you compare them and choose the right one.

Coworking or managed office?

In coworking, you combine a private space with shared areas. In a managed office, everything is private. Coworking maximises flexibility and services; a managed office maximises privacy and image.
