Coworking near Bastille (Paris 12th): a desk to write and create
Looking for a calm, comfortable and inspiring place to work? ForWords is a writing office and creative coworking space in Paris 12th, a few minutes from Place de la Bastille.
Between Bastille, Ledru-Rollin and Gare de Lyon
ForWords is right next to metro Ledru-Rollin (line 8), a few minutes' walk from Place de la Bastille (lines 1, 5 and 8) and Gare de Lyon (RER A and D, lines 1 and 14). For lunch, Place d'Aligre and its market are around the corner.
Why a coworking space rather than a café
Working in a café sounds nice until the noise, the unstable connection and the pressure to keep ordering kick in. A dedicated workspace gives you:
- a calm, studious environment for deep work;
- fibre Wi-Fi at 800 Mbps for video calls and file transfers;
- a proper desk and chair;
- coffee and tea included.
Rent a desk by the hour or by the day
An hour for an urgent video call, a few hours of focused writing, or a full day: prices start at €10 excl. VAT per hour and €50 per day, with no long-term commitment. Weekly and monthly desks are available on request.


A place designed for authors and creatives
ForWords is not a noisy open space. It is a writing office where the atmosphere is geared towards literary writing, screenwriting, proofreading and film development, alongside the other studios of the ForStudio ecosystem at the same address (ForCast, ForCut, ForTape).
