French regional coworking operator Le POD, owned by Giboire real estate group, closed its 1,200 sqm Angers train station location on July 18, 2025, after operating at only 50% occupancy since opening in April 2023.

The space offered around 120 workstations but faced weak demand and economic challenges affecting smaller businesses in Western France. Le POD will focus on its other Angers location in the Saint-Serge district, a 1,600 sqm space that opened in January 2025 and is performing better with higher utilization rates. The company also continues operating an 1,800 sqm location in Rennes, Brittany, offering hot desks, private offices, meeting rooms, and event areas.
