On the way to Anti-Cafe
in La Défense, France
-
I am in La Défense, a major
business district of France
-
Here is my friend from La Défense
-
What is the difference from a normal cafe?
-
[Amaury Legrand | Paris]
You pay as you go
-
It is 5 euros an hour
-
It just opened, so we are gonna visit today
-
Why is it called Anti-Café?
-
Unlike a typical French cafe
where you pay for a drink
-
It doesn't charge you for a drink
-
but you should pay 5 euros every hour
-
The name of Anti-Café comes from
its new way of payment system
-
Drink, Eat, Work, Exchange
-
Make, Play, Dream, Rest
-
You will get this card when you first get in
-
This card records when you entered
-
then it charges 5 euros per hour
-
I will bring my drink
-
Then, you can eat some snack
as much as you want
-
Actually, there have been a lot of
alternative workspaces out of office
-
Anti-Café seems to be something
between an office and a coworking space
-
You might think only cheap food
is available for unlimited refill
-
It is not the case
-
Café Chocola, Latté Macchiatos
They have same menu like a typical cafe
-
Anti-Café starts out more and more
mostly at the big cities in Europe
-
and the space design is also
getting better and better
-
If you have a plan to visit France
you'd better check out Anti-Café lists
-
and give it a shot, I recommend
-
[Yong Choi | Seoul, Korea]
Pay for the time and access everything
-
This is quite cool..!
-
Very little English
Truly very little English
-
My English is this little
but no problem here at all
-
Definitely I am willing to work here
-
This is not only for work
You can get some food, too
-
Drinks are provided unlimitedly
with board games and seminar rooms
-
You might take a look at the inside
which I think is really great
-
What's wrong? Overcharged?
-
No, No
-
I asked how many Anti-Café are in Paris
-
She said six
-
I paid 13 euros
-
There are several Anti-Cafés
in European countries including France
-
When coworking spaces were
not common like today
-
This kind of unique cafes started
as alternative working spaces
-
and this is the first branch in La Défence
-
It is cool and great
-
It would be great to study here, too
