When I visited Paris a few months ago, I found a coffee shop that was specifically targeting people who wanted a place to work, and turned the business model upside down: instead of selling you drinks, and you getting the place for free, they would bill you by the hour, and the drinks were free (and good!). Of course, that means you get to stay as long as you want, no questions asked. The prices were 5€/h or 24€/day, which was totally OK for me as I just needed to work for one day.

- ever1 5y agoI think I know the place he is talking about: HUBSY café & coworking | Saint-Lazare. Been there several times, you pay by the hour with unlimited drinks and some snacks. It's a small place but it is nice and was life-saving for me.
- y7 5y agoThere's also l'Anticafé.
- antoinealb 5y agoIt was Unicorners, on Rue Beaubourg.
- Raed667 5y agoThere is a similar space in Nice: https://www.canafe.fr https://www.canafe.fr But it could be kind of expensive if you're an entry level developer at Paris or Nice salaries.
- peignoir 5y agoYep these are anti cafe models (HUBSY is one) you can find them on google maps. On my side I find paris too expensive I moved to Estonia where any normal cafe is cool to hang out at or co working are at a descent price too (aorund 250$ a month) including free coffee (Palo Alto labs is one)
