‍

‍

Plan your trips in advance

‍

Use navigation applications and websites to check road closures and public transport timetables. RATP and SNCF regularly update their information to help users anticipate disruptions.

‍

Avoid rush hour

‍

If possible, stagger your working hours to avoid the busiest times of the day. Working earlier in the morning or later in the evening can help you avoid the crowds.

‍

Use alternative modes of transport

‍

Take advantage of self-service bicycles like Vélib', electric scooters, or even walking for short trips. Not only do these modes of transport avoid traffic jams, they're also good for your health.

‍

In a nutshell: the 4D method

‍

To sum up and remember these tips, think 4D:

• Reduce travel
• Diverting your route
• Shifting travel times
• Diverting your usual mode of transport

‍

Think of the Pass Jeux or digital pass

‍

The authorities are introducing a digital pass, or Games Pass, to make it easier to get around during the Olympics. This pass can be your best ally in navigating the city efficiently.

‍

What is the Pass Jeux?

‍

The Games Pass is a digital pass designed for workers and residents to circulate and access security perimeters during the Games.

‍

How do I use it?

‍

First check if you need a Games Pass to get around. Then be sure to register and download the Games Pass in advance.

‍

Local coworking: a winning alternative

‍

If commuting is too much of a hassle, why not opt for local coworking? This flexible solution enables you to work close to home while benefiting from a professional environment.

‍

Avoid public transport

‍

For the people of Ile-de-France, the average commuting time is 38 minutes(1). During the Olympic Games, daily commutes will be disrupted and this average time will rise sharply. By choosing a coworking space near you, you can considerably reduce the time you spend commuting.

‍

Access a professional workspace

‍

Coworking spaces, like those offered by Worklib, are fully equipped with high quality professional equipment: ergonomic desks and chairs, meeting rooms, phone boxes... Telework in good conditions and enjoy all the comfort you need to stay productive.

‍

Benefit from additional services and amenities

‍

In addition to high-quality work equipment, coworking spaces often offer a range of additional services and amenities. From high-speed Wi-Fi to fully-equipped meeting rooms and coffee machines, these spaces are designed to meet all your professional needs.

‍

Treat yourself to flexibility

‍

Reserve your workspace by the hour, day, week or month, with no obligation. Choose your space according to your needs: open space, meeting room, phone box...

‍

Find your work-life balance

‍

Working in a local coworking center allows you to effectively separate your professional life from your personal life. By avoiding long commutes, you save precious time that you can devote to your hobbies, family or personal activities.

‍

Join a community

‍

Coworking spaces are also places where people meet and exchange ideas. This community dynamic encourages the exchange of ideas, spontaneous collaboration and the creation of a professional network. It's like team training, where everyone motivates and supports the others.

‍

‍

The Paris 2024 Olympics represent a major challenge for workers in the Paris region, but with the right preparation and strategies, you can navigate this period successfully. Whether it's carefully planning your commute, using the Pass Jeux or opting for local coworking, there are solutions to maintain your productivity during the Olympics.
