Bouygues readies for Paris battle to emulate WeWork

Paris

BOUYGUES SA, France's second-largest builder, is preparing for a tough fight as the company seeks to emulate the success of New York-based WeWork by renting and subletting office space in France.

Under the Nextdoor brand, Bouygues opened its first office in June that allows companies and entrepreneurs to sublet working space on a monthly basis in Issy-les-Moulineaux, near Paris.
