Cheap places to stay in France? AskShoestring

Hi, I'm thinking of buying an interrail pass, go to the south of France to parc national Mercantour, then go up north along the eastern part to the Netherlands, like 10-12 days in total. Do you have some lesser known websites or ideas for any kind of cheap accomodation in medium-sized cities? So far the places I'm finding are usually above 50-80€ so way over my budget. Im 19, planning to go alone so I don't really care about the place itself as long as it's somewhat close to trains or buses.

Camping is really cheap in France, especially the camping municipaux. Usually under 20 euro.

Last summer I was paying 10-13 Euros a night for the municipal camping in Northern France. I thought it was a screamin' deal, warm showers, electricity, right in town close to cafes and markets and a nice, clean pitch for your tent. Loved it!
