You can join some club and let them pick up the travelling expenses for promoting their club! Me, Myself and I, hate to travel it's a real pain except for a short travel on the greyhound bus to the neighbouring town for a visit!

I have traveled alone since my early 20s, quite often in France (and I do not speak French.)You can look for the nearest town that has a youth hostel, either from Hosteling International or an independent hostel.http://www.fuaj.org/eng/http://www.youthhostelfrance.com/Once you know when you will be in the area you can write your relatives that you will be in town on these dates. (e-mail if you want to see them, so you have time to change your plans if needed.)If you travel with other people you will have a good excuse not to stay with the relatives.If you want to travel a lot in France, think about getting a train pass, for a week or two of unlimited traveling, or a young persons reduction pass if you stay in France longer.http://www.voyages-sncf.com/dynamic/_SvHomePage?_DLG=SvHomePage&_CMD=cmdHomepageUK&WB= HP&rfrr=4685ac17fd2e7656e4918c53b246a3f7If you are not sure about traveling alone, you can also combine a short visit with your relatives with a bus tour or other group travel.Go to your local travel agent to see the ready made travels, or search internet.Added:I like traveling in France and traveling alone, but the first few times it was a bit hard to get used to.If you are into church, maybe this place is something for you:http://www.taize.fr/ I have been there several times and found it a very good place to meet people, but it is all about religion.
