A managed office (serviced office) is a turnkey private office: furnished space, internet, cleaning and reception bundled into a single monthly invoice, on a flexible 12–36 month service agreement. Lyon has 98 spaces offering managed or private offices, from €792/month.
A managed office is a private workspace whose fit-out and day-to-day running are handled by a specialist operator: furniture, internet, cleaning, reception, meeting rooms and coffee are all included in one monthly invoice. Your company gets branded premises without sinking capital into fit-out works or juggling suppliers.
Legally you sign a service agreement, not a commercial lease. Terms typically run 12 to 36 months, with floor space you can scale up or down — which is why scale-ups and real-estate teams use it to control cost per desk without committing for a decade.
In Lyon, the offer ranges from private floors at managed-office pure players to dedicated suites in business centres (27 specialist operators listed), with prices from €792/month per office.
Three ways to house a team, three levels of commitment. The table sums up the key differences.

A turnkey private office rented from an operator: furniture, internet, cleaning, reception and building management are bundled into a single monthly invoice. You sign a flexible service agreement (typically 12–36 months) — no commercial lease, no fit-out capex.
In Lyon, turnkey private offices start around €792/month, with a median near €1,346/month per office depending on size, neighbourhood and services.
Market standard: fitted and furnished premises, high-speed internet, cleaning, maintenance, reception, meeting rooms, coffee and shared areas. Some operators add managed IT, security or events. Everything lands on one invoice.

Coworking rents desks in a space shared with other companies; a managed office privatises a whole suite or floor for your team only, with the same services included. Coworking suits freelancers and small teams; managed offices suit companies of 5 to 100+ desks.
Most operators offer 12–36 month agreements, sometimes from 6 months, with 3–6 month notice periods. It sits between the monthly flexibility of coworking and the multi-year commitment of a conventional lease.
The format becomes relevant from 5–10 desks — below that, coworking is usually cheaper. Beyond 100 desks, benchmark against a conventional lease: depending on your time horizon, the cost gap can flip.
