Anticafé: The Venues in Paris Where You Pay Only for the Time
The Anticafés in Paris reinvent the concept of the Parisian café: they are places made especially for creatives and dreamers! The concept of Anticafés is really very simple: you only pay for the time you spend in the venue.
What is an Anticafé?
An Anticafé is born from a young and fresh idea, to provide an atypical space for anyone who needs a place to create, think, and design. Anticafés offer: wifi, printers, scanners, board games, a buffet, drinks, and small snacks that can be accessed freely, paying only for the time spent in the venue.
In short, the Anticafé is a community of talented and creative minds; exhibitions, screenings, and lectures are also organized here, making it a great place to spend time with friends.
Where are the Anticafés Located in Paris?
- Anticafé Innovation: in the Olympiades district, at rue Nationale 59, this Anticafé promotes exchanges, relationships, and creativity; it offers an extremely intimate and friendly setting, light meals, and various breakfast options.
- Anticafé Beaubourg: at rue Quicampoix 79, near the Pompidou Center, it was the first Anticafé in Paris, opened in 2013. Here you'll find both large tables for communal work and small intimate tables; it's a perfect place to work, meet, and create.
- Anticafé Louvre: located at 10 rue Richelieu, close to the Louvre, it is like the other two: an atypical place where conviviality and creative activity meet, creating a truly 'smart' venue just steps from the Comédie Française.
