In the blink of an eye

1. Organic garden and lunch

Bigouden Makers in Pont-l’Abbé

In the centre of Pont-l’Abbé in South Finistère, 20 minutes from Quimper and the surfing beaches, come and unpack your bags. And your laptop. The Hôtel de Bretagne may no longer exist, but the premises have been restored by the Bigouden Makers team, who have transformed it into a stylish hybrid facility. On the 1st floor, a bright and quiet open space for people working on the move, with a private room for 6 people. The second floor features private offices ranging from 6 to 20 m2. Everyone can meet on the ground floor, in the charming communal areas, with light-coloured wooden tables, sofas and armchairs. With 6 bedrooms and 2 apartments, you can also spend the night. Coffee breaks, a great atmosphere, stylish decor and a delicious lunch – everything is first class, and the place is teeming with initiatives, workshops and projects… An inspiring and stimulating place to be!

2. Welcome to the Blue House…

CocoLéon in Carantec

… where it’s just like working from home. But better. In Carantec, in the north of Finistère, just 10 minutes from the beaches and the Morlaix Bay with its small islands, Valérie and Pierre warmly welcome you to CocoLéon. Whether you prefer a garden or sea view, you can rent an open plan workspace on the first floor, or a private office or meeting room. Want to spend the night? The cosy, fully equipped studio next to the house is just what you need. Make the most of your lunch break with a swim, a stroll around Île Callot, a kayak trip or a kite surfing session if the wind is up. Soothing, friendly, stimulating… It’s so much better than being at home!

Ideas

The inratables of the summer, the place to be to treat yourself to a seafood platter, the best views on the GR®34, the best spots to start surfing… in short, all the good...

3. Surf camp spirit with a view of Groix Island

“Maison Glaz” on the Gâvres peninsula

Imagine the spot. An unspoilt peninsula with the small Gâvres sea on one side, and the ocean on the other. Maison Glaz is right on the tip, with a view of Lorient bay and Groix island. A former military holiday centre, this third place mixes up shared workspaces, a guest house and cabins, a vegetable plot, etc. Plug in your laptop and co-work in a library atmosphere, with broadband internet and a good coffee. You can stop by just for a day, or spend a few days here (accommodation and breakfast included). After you’ve sent your last e-mail of the day, set off for a walk along the coastal path. Or try kite surfing. A little further south, in Erdeven, La Maison des Dunes hotel also has an area dedicated to work. It contains a desk, printer, Wi-Fi, all just a stone’s throw from the beaches!

4. For everyday superheroes

BHZ Coworking in Lannion

Question: Can you have an industrial look that is perfectly cosy at the same time? The answer is yes. From Monday to Friday, right in the centre of Lannion on the Pink Granite Coast, this co-working space welcomes you from 8am to 8pm in a bright and cosy atmosphere. Its design, based on the world of comic books, is truly unique. For super workers, there are several options: a shared workspace, private offices, cubicles for B2B meetings and a fully equipped meeting room for up to 12 people. Everything is managed via a mobile app. One hand on the keyboard, a coffee in the other: here the coffee is free, and you can drink as much as you like. You can dream about the nearby beach and nature trail... Not so good for productivity!

5. New ways of working in a trendy neighbourhood

“La Colloc’” in Lorient

Between the fishing port and the town centre, La Perrière is “the” trendy neighbourhood in Lorient. There are artists’ galleries, relaxed bistros and friendly bars. This collaborative third place offers 1,400 m² of work spaces in a former industrial wasteland, which is now brightly decorated. You can rent an office for a week (holiday special) or you can take a spot in the co-working space for an hour or a day. On a table or, more relaxed, on a sofa… it’s up to you. La Colloc’ invites you to immerse yourself in new ways of working. Even better, talking with your colleagues for the day, over lunch, in the kitchen always produces lively and enriching exchanges!

6. “New York loft” mood in Ateliers des Capucins

“We ARt Minds” in Brest

In Brest, you can commute to work on the cable car! On the first floor of Ateliers des Capucins, the We ARt Minds space welcomes freelancers and self-employed workers, who first have to join the community. Once you’ve got your membership card, you can book one of the 20 nomadic stations at your leisure and be inspired by the “New York loft” mood of the place. In addition to the beautiful light offered by the sky domes, there is a kitchen and relaxation room on the mezzanine. Are you a business? You can reserve a private office from 1 hour (without needing to be a member). Just like home… only better.
