Cheapest Housing There Is
The system of youth hostels (youth hostel, or, auberge de jeunesse in French) is quite developed in France in the large and medium-sized cities, and it's a good choice for anyone who wants to travel on the cheap. At Tours the hostel is just 5 minutes from Plumereau Square, in the heart of the old town and 5 minutes from the shores of the Loire River. A perfect location! In addition, this hostel offers not only dormitories, but single rooms from 21 euros per night, breakfast included. If this is the first time you'll be staying in a hostel, FUAJ (the organization that runs these houses), will have to pay for a membership card, which costs about 7 euros, which will allow you to stay in any of the other locations in the system of hostels they have.
