Many aeroclubs in France, cheap prices, you an get a block of hours for even cheaper if you don't fly during the peak season. Many airfields to train your joining skills, cheap (sometimes no) landing fees.
Add 30 hours in TMG and it's even cheaper.
The only issue is the language. Websites are French only (I do not know of any aeroclub in France with an English version of the website).
In touristic areas you can get very cheap accommodation out of the peak season.
Are non Easa aeroplanes (mostly Jodel in France) allowed for hour building? It seems that they are now, but I don't know for sure whether it's another thing that is going to last or not. That's the only issue I could see, as Jodels are very pleasant an cheap to fly.
