In 2024, the development of women in the workplace is unfortunately still a struggle. Although progress is being made, there is still much to be done. The 2023 results of the professional equality barometer show an index of 88/100, an increase of 2 points, but only 2% of companies today have perfect equality of treatment. In other words, 98% still have some way to go to make progress in this area. But while we’re waiting for things to change, and to boost women’s professional careers, we’d like to recommend a few women’s coworking spaces where only success is allowed. Discover our Top 5 coworking spaces for women.
1 – MONA, Paris
This is certainly one of the capital’s best-known coworking spaces for women. Launched in 2017 by the founder of My Little Paris, MONA is a real place to live and meet people. Imagined to be ephemeral and last for 3 months, MONA Coworking has endured and today offers a café space, a media outlet and a community.
Every month, the community supports projects by women from all walks of life, and organizes events to build their networks and projects. The space is defined as a safe place open to all, all year round. Check it out.

2 – Le STUDIO, Bourges
Head for Bourges this time, in the Centre Val de Loire region, to discover Le STUDIO coworking space. The region’s only 100% all-female coworking space. Designed by women for women, it’s a place where women can come to exchange ideas, discuss issues and bring their projects to fruition.
The space can also be used for private events, from simple customer meetings to larger-scale events. Le Studio has a real commitment to making sisterhood a force for boosting women’s careers. Monthly “apéros nanas” are organized by female managers to relax, share enriching experiences and look back on the destinies of inspiring women.

3 – PROVIDENTI’ELLES, Nantes – La Roche sur Yon – Angers
Providenti’elles is an association that provides warm, welcoming spaces where women can no longer suffer from loneliness. Here, everything is designed to create a caring environment where women can meet, exchange ideas and support each other.
The Providenti’elles meet regularly for coffee, lunch and discussions about their daily lives, or to take part in Divers workshops. These shared moments are much more than a simple break, they are an opportunity to forge strong, lasting bonds.
For women with projects, the coworking space offers a golden opportunity to focus on their professional ambitions. They are offered 5 half-days a week to work, in exchange for a half-day dedicated to welcoming other Providenti’elles.

4 – POTENTIELLES, Marseille
POTENTIELLES is a small coworking space with big ambitions. It’s a rather atypical structure, specializing in female entrepreneurship. Founded in 2007, and then transformed into a “tiers-lieux” in 2010, it welcomes over 500 women every year to help them realize their projects and develop their networks.
POTENTIELLES also hosts an incubator and a business cooperative, and every year develops a dedicated event(Les journées de l’Entreprenariat au Féminin), a shop-school and awareness-raising initiatives on the role model role of women in our society. Certainly one of the most committed coworking spaces in France.
