French hostels

[Yellow Fang]

I fancy doing a tour around France one day, maybe next year. Are French youth hostels similar to British ones? Do you actually have to be young to use them? Are there plenty of them around, or would this trip a lot of planning? Any info would be appreciated.

I've stayed in a few, although about 10 years ago now. From what I can remember, youth is not a prerequesite. I believe there are quite a lot as well.

My French is rusty. Thanks for the link.

You should be okay even with rusty french. Give me a shout if you get stuck via a pm.
