Pampa - Bureau de quartier
FREN

Coworking in La Rochelle · 25 rue Thiers, city centre A home from home, minus the laundry.

Pampa is our little neighbourhood office, right in the city centre. A 35 m² studio with 6 well-kitted desks, for a few hours or a few days a month. Just bring your laptop, that's it (not even the charger: our screens keep it topped up).

So, what exactly is Pampa?

A neighbourhood coworking space to work, natter and make friends.

We dreamt up Pampa for remote workers, freelancers and anyone who's had quite enough of working from the sofa (guilty). A studio slap bang in the centre of La Rochelle, a stone's throw from the covered market and a short walk from the Old Port, proper wifi, cafés just downstairs, and regulars who have a funny habit of becoming mates. In short: long live the little local office!

  • No commitment
  • Open 6 days a week
  • Screens & keyboards provided
  • Book in 2 clicks
  • Cosy, never stuffy
  • Right in the city centre

The grand tour

35 m²: the grand tour won't take long.

Small, admittedly. But every corner of our coworking space has been thought through so you feel at home, get proper work done… and take proper tea breaks.

The desks

Open or Focus? A field guide.

In the app you'll spot columns called “Open 1”, “Focus 2”… Keep calm and carry on: here's what they look like in real life.

Joh & Phil

At 25 rue Thiers, 17000 La Rochelle, right in the city centre: a stone's throw from the covered market (Les Halles) and a short walk from the Old Port. The neighbourhood cafés are just downstairs.

The coworking space is open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 8pm. The day comes in two halves: morning from 8am to 2pm, afternoon from 2pm to 8pm.

€5 an hour, €12 for a half-day and €20 for a full day, no commitment. Regulars can take a membership from €45 a month or a credit pack valid for 3 months. And a private desk to rent by the month is €220.

Everything! Fast Wi-Fi, a 24" screen that charges your laptop, keyboard and mouse, lockers with keys, coffee machine and a kitchen corner with a fridge and a microwave. Just bring your laptop.

With pleasure! On holiday, on a work trip or working remotely for a few days: book an hour, a half-day or a day in the app, no membership and no commitment.

Through the Pampa app (the link's also in our Insta bio): pick a day, a slot, a desk, job done. First come, first served, so if you've got a favourite desk, book ahead!

Fancy a bit of life around you? Open. A video call, a big project, or a sudden urge to stand? Focus. Can't decide? Try both, they won't take offence.

Of course, that's rather the point! No strings attached: an hour, a half-day, a day… and you come back if you like it (spoiler: most people do).

Not a problem! Just so you know: it's an open space, and there's no phone booth. So we ask you to use your library voice on calls, to keep the cosy atmosphere we're so fond of. The Focus desks are ideal for that.

Yes! Team meetings, sewing workshops, philosophy cafés… we love it when our little office gets a second life. Up to 12 people, for a day or half-day, Monday to Saturday. Drop us a line!

Psst, over here!

Shall we save you a desk?

Your first slot from €5, no strings attached. The hardest part will be choosing between Open and Focus.
