Have you visited or heard of any great hostels in France that you could recommend?
It has been mentioned several times on this site that France could be a good place to open a hostel because there are plenty of backpackers but not many (good) hostels to choose from. I am trying to explore the existing network of independent hostels, but I am having some trouble finding them.
Below is a list of the places that have been suggested to me by backpackers and other French hostels. Can you suggest any others for me to visit?
Paris:
St. Christophers
Le Village
Aloha
Nice:
Villa St. Exupery
Chez Patrick
Marseille:
Vertigo
Carcassonne:
Sidsmum's

There's no great hostel in France because there's no hostel culture
Most of the hostels (auberges de jeunesse) are public.
In Paris the most interesting hostel is St Christopher’s.
Great building but horrible location.
The rest of the parisian hostels are low quality.
To open hostel in France especially in Paris will cost you lot of money.
French laws about building, fire safety, disabled access; urbanism and architecture are very complicated.
