You could go to any French aéroclub. People are often very nice, retired or still on duty captains and FO’s. The pricing of the flight and the instructors may be really affordable depending on which aeroclub you chose too. Where do you come from ?

I would also recommend doing your hour building at an aeroclub, as it’s much cheaper than in an ATO. After that, Heading West in Biscarrosse offers interesting hour-building routes (including trips abroad if you have FCL.055), but unfortunately that comes at a cost.
