Whatever the field of activity, areas of the city of Nantes such as Euptouyou, the Champ de Mars district, the Halle du Karting, the creation district or the Chantrerie innovation park have third-party spaces that offer an exceptional working environment.

It should be noted, however, that although the map is evolving, the majority of coworking centers in Nantes are still located in the city center and on the Île de Nantes, mainly because of the services and transportation offered. However, the market is gradually shifting to the outskirts of Nantes, both to the west in Saint-Herblain, which has benefited from the extension of the Chronobus 6 bus line since 2020, and to the east of Nantes with the Ouche, Buron and Halvêque Beaujoire Ranzay districts. In the long term, the Pirmil-les-Iles ZAC, a large-scale project of the Nantes Metropolis, should also attract coworkers looking for coworking spaces to rent in Nantes.

Thus, the tertiary and coworking offer in Nantes is relatively balanced between the city center and the periphery.
