- Three metro stations within a five-minute walk, a Walk Score of 100, and parking on site.
- An Art Deco building with a glass-roofed atrium that members mention first.
- Ten floors and 125,476 square feet of hot desks, dedicated desks, private offices, and full-floor space for larger teams.
- A complimentary barista, a fitness center with showers, outdoor space, and a dog-friendly policy.
- A rooftop terrace with views of Opéra and Montmartre.
- WeWork All Access, which covers this building and others across Paris and beyond.
Plenty of Paris offices have a good address. Fewer have a glass roof over the lobby. WeWork 33 Rue la Fayette occupies an Art Deco landmark from 1932 in the 9th arrondissement, with ten floors of flexible workspace, a rooftop over Opéra and Montmartre, and a metro stop a few steps from the door.
So what does a day here look like?
All roads lead to Rue la Fayette
Getting here is simple, no matter how you travel.
- By car: if you’d rather drive, there’s parking on site.
- By metro: Le Peletier (line 7), Notre-Dame-de-Lorette (line 12), and Richelieu-Drouot (lines 8 and 9) are all within a five-minute walk.
- By bus: lines 26, 32, 42, 43, and 48 all stop nearby.
- On foot: with a Walk Score of 100, the walk is part of the appeal. It’s three minutes from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, about five from Richelieu-Drouot, and a few steps from Le Peletier.
A building with character
Designed by F. Balleyguier in 1932, the building brings Art Deco character to a contemporary workspace. The verrière, its glass-roofed atrium over the main common area, brings daylight deep into the middle of the building where a lot of the day happens: a first coffee, a laptop session, a quick catch-up with a neighbor. The design details continue throughout the space, including artwork in the meeting rooms, so a client review or a quick team check-in happens somewhere with a bit more style than the usual blank white. It’s a setting that feels distinctly Parisian while offering the practical features people need for the workday.
Ten floors, plenty of ways to work
With ten floors, there’s room for most setups. Hot desks suit days when you want company without a commitment. Dedicated desks mean your second monitor stays exactly where you left it. Private offices come with a door that closes, and teams of 50 and up can take a full floor they can call their own.
That flexibility helps as your team grows. Your team might start with four people using hot desks and move into a private office as it grows to 11. The address stays the same, and so does the walk from the metro.
Within a single day, the building gives you different places to be. A call you’d rather keep private goes in a phone booth. A client review or a quick team check-in goes in a meeting room, booked by the hour. And when you need an uninterrupted stretch to write or think, a quiet corner of the common area does the job.
Besides these, the community pantry is stocked, and the on-site team is around Monday to Friday, ready to help with bookings, introductions, printing, and settling in on your first day.
Coffee, fresh air, and a four-legged colleague
The day tends to start at the barista. The coffee is complimentary, and it’s also a handy excuse to step away from your desk for a few minutes and chat with whoever’s in line. If you’ve brought a dog along, you’ll be in even better company — dogs are welcome here and mornings are easier for anyone who’d otherwise leave one at home.
Midday is when the fitness center comes in. It has showers, so a workout or a commute by bike doesn’t take any extra planning, and you can be back at your desk freshened up.
Later on, there’s the outdoor space running across several levels. The rooftop looks out over Opéra on one side and Montmartre on the other, and it’s a picturesque spot for ten minutes between calls, a coffee with a candidate, or catching up with colleagues on a clear evening.
One practical note: some amenities run on booking agreements or WeWork member credits. The onsite team can tell you which is which.
Meetings, events, and bigger gatherings
Meeting rooms are bookable by the hour and set up for video calls, which covers most of what a week throws at you, from a client review to an interview you’d rather not hold in a café. When a gathering outgrows a meeting room, you can choose between an event space, an auditorium, and a presentation theater. A company all-hands or an investor session can happen in the building you already work in, so there’s no hunting for a venue across town.
The neighborhood
One of the advantages of working at 33 Rue La Fayette is what’s just outside the door. Rue des Martyrs is known for its bakeries and artisan food shops, while the cafés along the Grands Boulevards, with their theaters next door, start just around the corner. Galeries Lafayette Haussmann is close enough for a break that turns into a bit of shopping.
For a longer walk, Opéra Garnier is moments away. Nearby, the covered passages Jouffroy and Verdeau are a nice change of pace from the boulevards, with their tiled floors, wrought iron, and glass roofs, and a good place to shelter on a rainy day. On a Friday afternoon, Montmartre is close enough for a wander.
Not just this building
If 33 Rue la Fayette isn’t where you need to be tomorrow, Paris has options. 20 Bis Rue la Fayette is on the same street, and eight more locations sit within a couple of miles, including Coeur Marais and 92 Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
All of them are open with WeWork All Access, which covers coworking booking at hundreds of locations, with credits for meeting rooms. Some days this building is exactly where you want to be, and other days a spot closer to a client makes more sense.
