A furnished office for 10 to 20 people in Lyon costs about €2,890 to €5,780 a month at the median published per-desk rate, and it can be ready in days rather than months.

What a 10, 15 or 20-person office costs
| Headcount | Low end (€189/desk) | Median (€289/desk) | Upper quarter (€490/desk) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 people | €1,890 | €2,890 | €4,900 |
| 15 people | €2,835 | €4,335 | €7,350 |
| 20 people | €3,780 | €5,780 | €9,800 |
Suites are usually priced as a unit rather than per desk, and the effective per-desk price falls as headcount rises, so the median column is a planning figure and operators often come in under it for a 15 or 20-person suite on a twelve-month term.

Suite or conventional lease?
A serviced suite wins on speed and on the all-in price for the first year or two: no fit-out, no furniture, no separate utilities, and a term of 6 to 24 months. A conventional lease starts to make sense around 2,000 square feet with a three-year horizon. The listings page shows both side by side, flexible space priced per desk and direct space priced by the square foot.
How SquareFoot fits in
SquareFoot is an office brokerage: tell the specialist the headcount and the district, and they confirm which suites are actually available at what price, line up the tours, and handle the conventional lease side if that is where the search lands. Free for tenants.
Counts and prices are from SquareFoot’s live listings for Lyon as of November 2026: 31 listings, 15 with a published asking price, collected from the operators’ and landlords’ own pages. Prices are per desk per month for serviced and flexible space unless stated. Written by SquareFoot; reviewed November 2026.
