I'm a 16 year old, and I'm going to be traveling to Paris alone for a few days this summer between a couple events. I was hoping someone on here would know a good place to stay in the city that is relatively nice and allows minors to stay by themselves (with signed parent permission of course) for a few nights. All the hostels I could find on Hostel International and other similar sites require you to be 18 or traveling with a parent, neither of which match my situation. Thanks for the help.

Merci bien!
That hostel looks pretty perfect, and it's only a mile walk from Gare du Nord, where I plan to arrive. Thanks for the recommendation!
I did not know about the Batobus, that is so cheap and goes to so many major sights!
I was just considering wandering around the street because that wouldn't cost me anything, but I did not know Paris had all these amazing opportunities for free or cheap entertainment. I'll be in every free museum I see :).
Thanks again for all the advice!
