Coworking and the use of third places is booming in France, and not only in the start-up world. It has a bright future, disrupting work habits and promising strong ecological and economic benefits.

But that's not the only huge figure the study points to. Indeed, flexible workplaces in Nice tend to sprout up near train stations and major public transport hubs, in order to limit travel.

This would save no less than 100 million hours of travel. In addition to the productivity gains, the energy factor would be considerably reduced: nearly 7 million tons of carbon dioxide would no longer be emitted.
