Its “à la carte” payment offer had not yet been implemented in France.
Launched in New York in 2020 and since extended to more than 300 sites around the world, the on-demand formula is now being tested in two Parisian centers of the WeWork coworking group: 7 rue de Madrid (VIII) for the right bank, and 198 avenue de France (XIIIe), near Station F, left bank.
Employees on business trips, passing through the capital, like Parisians looking for a solution to work away from home, no longer need their employer to have taken out a long-term subscription.
They can directly rent a workspace by the hour or by the day, by making the reservation on the dedicated application.
“With Covid-19, the demand for flexible offices has exploded.
Companies are asking us for a mix of products, which allow them to have offices in several cities but also to give their employees the possibility of working near their homes, ”explains Rebecca Nachanakian, general manager France of WeWork - one from the world's leading providers of flexible workspaces.
“After our
All Access
offer , which offers a monthly pass with no commitment, we have therefore developed the
On Demand
product , which individuals can use from their smartphone.

40 euros per day
For one hour, a meeting room costs 20 euros per person.
For a day, employees can settle in the shared spaces for 40 euros, including access to wi-fi, printers, drinks “and events organized by the community”.
The formula is aimed both at “companies that need to meet to
brainstorm
or change the setting, as well as at employees passing through Paris and who want to invite clients there”, specifies the general manager.
It may also interest influencers, fond of roof terraces with a view of the capital.
Reservations can be made at the last minute, "although it can sometimes be more complicated for the center of the very busy Madrid street", adds Rebecca Nachanakian.
The group is also working on the ERP certification (establishment open to the public) for its other buildings, which has not yet been obtained, to gradually extend the offer to its 18 Parisian centers.
