# Where to find a coworking space in France in 2027?

Updated : 2026-10-24 · Source : https://legalrapide.fr/en/entreprendre/coworking-france/

France has at least **1253 mapped coworking spaces**, in every region: the municipalities with the most are Paris (111), Lyon (60) and Bordeaux (51). For a founder, a coworking space offers an office without a commercial lease, a network and sometimes a support programme. **It can only serve as your company's registered address if it holds prefectural approval as a domiciliation provider.** The full list, by municipality, is in [our dataset](/en/donnees/espaces-coworking-france/).

## Where the coworking spaces are

| Lille | 14 |

The breakdown by region and the details of each space are in the [dataset](/en/donnees/espaces-coworking-france/) (CSV, JSON), extracted from OpenStreetMap on 24 October 2026.

## What to check before you commit
- **The plan**: hot desk, fixed desk or private office. Prices are shown on each space's website.
- **The commitment period** and notice period.
- **Access hours** and the meeting rooms included.
- **The community**: a coworking space full of freelancers from the same sector as your clients is as good as a sales network.
- **Support**: some spaces are also incubators and give access to [competitions and programmes](/en/donnees/concours-programmes-startups/).

## Registering your company at a coworking space
Your registered office can be with a domiciliation company, provided it holds **prefectural approval** and the contract lasts at least 3 months. Many coworking spaces offer domiciliation: ask for their approval number before you sign. Otherwise, the registered office can be at the director's home: see [choosing your company's registered address](/en/guides/domiciliation/).

## Coworking, incubator, tiers-lieu: the difference
- **Coworking space**: a shared workspace, rented by the desk or by the office.
- **Incubator or accelerator**: a selective support programme, often with premises. STATION F in Paris only takes members through its programmes.
- **Tiers-lieu** (community space): a broader shared venue (workshop, fablab, coworking), often run by an association and outside the big cities.

## What the list does not tell you
It covers the spaces mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors: a new space may be missing, and one that has closed may still appear. Check the space's website before you go.

## FAQ
**Can a coworking space be used as a registered office?**
Yes, if it is approved by the prefecture as a domiciliation company. The domiciliation contract lasts at least 3 months.

**How much does a coworking space cost?**
It depends on the city and the plan (hot desk, fixed desk, private office). Each space publishes its prices on its website; we do not copy them, as they change often.

**How do you get into STATION F?**
Only through one of its programmes, such as the free Fighters Program, or its partners' programmes. The Founders Program is paused.
