Top coworking spaces in Lyon 2024
The third-largest city in France, Lyon is a place of historical significance in many ways, from being the capital of the Gauls during the Roman Empire to seeing the invention of the cinematograph by the Lumière brothers. It is also a dynamic city, with a large student population and a lot of software companies as well as large businesses having their headquarters there.
Tourism also plays a role in the local economy, and the city’s cultural offerings are not to be missed. Remotely Serious has selected a few coworking places in la ville des Lumières for your next visit!
