A City of Paris agent returns home after their day, opens their personal computer to check a payslip or validate a leave request, and encounters a login page they have never seen outside the office. The situation is common, and the solution is more straightforward than one might think.
Accessing IntraParis Nomade from a personal device relies on a few technical prerequisites and a specific address, provided that one does not confuse the nomadic portal with the intranet that is only accessible on the internal network of the city hall.

Nomadic portal and internal intranet: a distinction that avoids connection errors
The first source of blockage is typing “intraparis” into a search engine hoping to land on the correct page. The classic intranet of the City of Paris only works from a device connected to the municipal network. From a personal computer, only the nomadic portal allows access to services.
The address to use is that of the nomadic access portal hosted on the domain apps.paris.fr. This portal displays a legal warning reminding that access is subject to prior authorization, in accordance with articles 226-15 and 323-1 to 323-7 of the penal code. This is not a public site: it is a secure professional space, and any unauthorized connection attempt is subject to criminal penalties.

Browser and credentials: what to prepare before connecting to IntraParis Nomade
Before even opening the portal, two elements must be gathered: an up-to-date browser and the professional credentials provided by the human resources department.
On the browser side, a standard web browser is used (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). Feedback varies on this point, but the basic recommendation remains to work with the most recent version available. An outdated browser can cause display errors or blocks during authentication.
The credentials are those of the professional email for the City of Paris. They are not codes created by the agent: they are assigned by the HR department upon starting the job. If they have never been received or if they have been lost, the only option is to contact internal IT support or go through the password reset procedure accessible from the login page of the nomadic portal (link “Forgot password”).
- Username: generally in the format first.last, identical to that used for professional email on the internal network.
- Password: the one associated with the professional account. It must comply with the security rules defined by the IT department (minimum length, special characters).
- Recovery procedure: the reset link redirects to a digital identity management service on the domain apps.paris.fr, not to an external form.
Connecting from a personal computer: the concrete steps on the nomadic portal
Once the browser is open and the credentials are at hand, the connection follows a linear path. One accesses the nomadic portal of the City of Paris, enters the username in the first field, the password in the second, and then clicks on “Log in”.
If the connection is successful, one arrives at the agent space. Here, the usual tools can be found: viewing payslips, managing leave, accessing professional email, and administrative documents related to human resources.
If the connection fails, several common causes arise:
- An expired password. The security policy of the City of Paris requires regular renewal. If the password has expired without the agent renewing it from an internal device, online reset remains the only recourse from a personal computer.
- A browser that blocks cookies or scripts. The nomadic portal uses secure sessions that require third-party cookies to be enabled. On Firefox in particular, enhanced protection settings can interfere.
- An active personal VPN. Some VPNs alter the outgoing IP address and may trigger a block by the portal’s security system. Disabling the VPN before attempting to connect often resolves the issue.
- An attempt from a very restrictive public Wi-Fi network (hotel, train station). These networks sometimes filter connections to certain domains. Switching to mobile hotspot can resolve the situation.
Security on a personal device: the precautions mandated by the charter
Connecting to IntraParis Nomade from home does not exempt one from the obligations of the charter for proper use of the IT resources of the City and Department of Paris. The portal reminds users of this from the homepage: the agent commits to respecting this charter as well as the general terms of use of the service.
In practice, this means a few simple but non-negotiable reflexes. Never save the password in the browser on a shared or family device. Log out after each use, even on one’s own computer. Avoid downloading sensitive documents onto an unencrypted hard drive.
The professional email accessible via the nomadic portal remains a work tool. The rules that apply in the office (confidentiality of exchanges, prohibition of excessive personal use) remain valid at home. The administration can trace connections and actions performed on the portal, regardless of the device used.
One last often-overlooked point: updating the operating system. A personal computer running Windows or macOS with overdue security updates poses a risk to the entire municipal network as soon as it connects to the portal. Keeping the system up to date protects both the agent and the infrastructure of the City of Paris.
