One of a crop of co-working cafes to mushroom in Paris, Nuage (Cloud) lures a loyal following of nomadic digital creatives with its cosy, home-like spaces in an old church (and subsequent school where Cyrano de Bergerac apparently studied). Payment is by the hour (€5) or day (€25), craft coffee is by Parisian roaster Coutume and gourmet snacks stave off hunger pangs.
Super-fast wi-fi, books to browse, games to play, music and a silent zone only add to the appeal.
