What to check before you sign
Notice period (30 days is normal for month-to-month, 60 to 90 at some executive-suite operators), the deposit (one to two months), whether meeting rooms are included or billed hourly, and whether the price quoted is per desk or per office. The listing for each centre on SquareFoot shows the published rate and the term, and a SquareFoot specialist confirms the current availability with the operator before you tour.
How SquareFoot fits in
SquareFoot is an office brokerage and marketplace. It is free for tenants; the operator pays on signing, so the price you see is the operator’s own rate.
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.
