How to write a inviting letter to prove accommodation when doing visa?

We Answered:

He needs to go to the local town-hall (mairie) of the town he is living and get a "Attestation d'accueil" (Proof of Accomodation) which he sends to you by mail so that you are able to attach it to your visa application. .. http://www.nyidanmark.dk/NR/rdonlyres/8F… (see page 146) .. If he should however live in a student's hostel I am afraid that the French authorities will not issue that accomodation proof.
