Top 5 coworking spaces in Nantes

In Nantes, the office real estate market is experiencing a trompe-l'œil recovery: with 42,100 m² placed in the first half of 2025 (+14% vs. 2024), momentum seems to be picking up, but the market remains structurally fragile, according to CBRE's latest analyses. New supply is scarce, average floor space is shrinking (386 m²), and the rise of telecommuting is causing office occupancy rates to fall below 50% on certain days. However, coworking, and more specifically the flexible office in Nantes, is emerging as a concrete response to new working practices for major accounts and their employees: more flexible, more collaborative and better adapted to the real needs of teams. In Nantes, a city of innovation and quality of life, these spaces are becoming real hubs of creativity and social interaction. Here are our Top 5 must-see coworking spaces in Nantes, designed to combine comfort, connectivity and inspiration. Follow the guide!

1- Back to school in Nantes

Good news! In July 2025, the Académie de Nantes opened a brand-new coworking space within its rectorat: 90 m², 27 workstations, all inherited from the conversion of three former meeting rooms. Financed to the tune of €220,800, this room, designed to be modular, welcomes civil servants mainly, in a more flexible way, whether they need quiet, exchanges or a nomadic space. The result: from the "trapeze" office to the "ultra-connected lounge", the ambition is clear: modernize, connect and collaborate. And it feels good! And a good point for the academy of Nantes.

At workin.space, we like it because we don't often hear about spaces dedicated to members of the local civil service, and that's just as justified as it is for major accounts!

2- Hangar 16, the chic industrial coworking space in Nantes

Located in the heart of Nantes, at 16 rue des Olivettes, a stone's throw from the train station and streetcar, Hangar 16 is a coworking space on a human scale, combining a friendly atmosphere with professional services: pro fiber, printers, meeting room, kitchenette and lounge/bar. There are nomadic formulas (e.g.: day or day pack) or dedicated/private offices, to suit a variety of needs (freelance, telecommuting, small team).

The industrial-chic ambience (a converted hangar) fosters a genuine community spirit, with events, breakfasts, exhibitions and after-work sessions to encourage exchange. In short: a place that combines mobility, flexibility and networking, perfect for setting up in Nantes without being alone in your own corner.

3- La Chapelle -canon- coworking space in Nantes

We've fallen head over heels for this place, and of course we love it. Imagine a former religious jewel ready to welcome startups, freelancers and coworkers: that's exactly what W'iN Nantes has done! Nestled in the heart of Nantes in the superb Marie Réparatrice chapel (1860), this space has been transformed without losing its exceptional character.The atypical Chapelle Coworking space boasts 60 open-space coworking stations, 6 shared offices, phone-boxes for quiet business calls, meeting rooms and even two cosy kitchens.

You can come for a day (approx. €20), or settle in for a month or more. The atmosphere is professional but relaxed: self-service hot drinks, high-speed fiber, company domiciliation, and regular events (breakfasts, networking aperitifs...) to encourage meetings. Perfect if you're looking for a different way of working in Nantes !

4- La Posada in Nantes

We could have imagined a hostel in this space with such an evocative name*, but it's really a flexible office space right in the heart of Nantes.

Located on the Île de Nantes, close to the architecture school, this address combines the charm of a family home with the services of a business center: 35 workstations (individual or collective closed spaces) available. For a rent of around €350/month (services included), you can benefit from 24-hour access, including weekends, closed offices, meeting rooms, shared spaces and entertainment.

The decor is pop, warm and inspired by the codes of the home. In short, a great place to live and work!

5 - Working close to Nantes train station at Whoorks Nantes gare

Located at 17 boulevard de Berlin in Nantes (44000), in the EuroNantes business districtand just a few minutes' walk from the TGV train station (4 minutes, who could be better?!) Whoorks Nantes Gare Sud is a "new generation" coworking and flexible office space.

The space totals over 7,000 m² and around 600 workstations, divided between open-space, private offices and meeting rooms, all decorated in a "circus theme" for an atmosphere that's both serious and creative. For example, the "Le Chapiteau" room can accommodate up to 120 people for cocktails.
At workin.space we also like the restaurant/café "Le Clin d'Œil", which offers local produce for your lunch or afterwork breaks.
