The following story recounts a human experience that's impossible to summarize in a few lines. No personal testimony can truly convey the emotion I felt when I joined this coworking space.
For over a year, I've been fortunate to be surrounded by the best of what Nantes has to offer. I came looking for a simple setting for my business; I found much more than a workspace: I discovered what would become a true success story.
To set the scene: a welcoming wooden door, immediately reminiscent of the entrance to Narnia. Push it open and your eyes will be bathed in a warm and comforting light. The rooms are arranged so that everyone can find something they like: inspiring calm or fascinating discussions over a Colombian coffee.
From my first day, I was treated to an Aladdin's cave: champagne, caviar, exotic fruits, petits fours from a Michelin-starred chef, and even a glass of Château Pétrus 2006! I barely had time to set my glass down on the massive table before a magician entered to erase my URSSAF debt.
But the most memorable thing didn't happen during the day... It happened that same evening, when I got home. My apartment seemed drab, the air less pure, the gravity heavier, the pressure different. I was already craving it, like a child impatiently awaiting Christmas.
Let's fast-forward to the present. A year later, my turnover reached its first thousand million euros. Prospecting became as easy as bringing up a sensitive topic at a family dinner.
I gained a self-confidence that would put all the psychologists in Nantes to shame. I identified my strengths, worked on my weaknesses, and my colleagues supported me in this quest for introspection. The results are clear: I have become a better human being. Thanks to the members of La Cordée, my parents told me for the first time that they loved me. My social life has become as rich as Jeff Bezos's, and I no longer flop when I tell my famous joke about the Belgian who walks into a bar.
I'm running out of characters, so I'll end here.
I invite you to come discover this magical place where legends and myths mingle, where reality flirts with the imaginary. Here, the testimonies are advice, your colleagues are allies, and this place is your future home.
