Abstract

A singular category of collaborative spaces, the coworkation (coworking / vacation) spaces offer accommodation allowing to work while travelling. This derivative of working third places, mainly frequented by digital nomads, remains little recognized by public policies, especially in France. This situation raises questions. Is it due to the spaces themselves, which seek to escape any form of institutionalization, or is it due to a difficulty on the part of public authorities to identify and understand the singularity of such places? Based on interviews conducted in a dozen places in different countries with facilitators and users, supplemented by the database built between 2018 and 2021, we review the characteristics of these collaborative spaces. Then, we expose the specificities of their user community, analyzing how they act online with a strong influence on the places themselves. Finally, we question the reasons that make these places the blind spot of French territorial policies.
