"A bubble of calm at the end of the quay". This is how Stéphanie Auxenfans, Managing Director of Multiburo, describes the business centre due to open in early November at Saint-Lazare station in Paris. Spanning 2,200 m² and two floors along the Cour du Havre and Rue d'Amsterdam, this new business centre is housed in a historic building dating from 1837, which sees more than 350,000 passengers travelling to and from the western suburbs of Paris and Normandy every day.
Designed in partnership with the SNCF, this new offering from Multiburo is not the first to be located at the heart of a major transport hub. Among the 26 business centres offered by this player with thirty years' experience in the sector, several are benefiting from this partnership. extremely practical environment for business travellers. These include those located opposite Lyon Part Dieu and Lille Flandres stations, the one next to Antwerp station, and soon - expected in 2019 - the one located in another major Paris station, as well as the one installed since 2004 in the clock tower at Gare de Lyon in Paris. "This is the Group's flagship store, says Stéphanie Auxenfans. At Saint Lazare, the clientele will be different, with fewer frequent travellers than at Gare de Lyon and more professionals from the suburbs or Normandy. For example, a company from Caen wanting to open a branch in Paris."
