48 rue faubourg poissonnière's recent past offered a rather similar to living situation to cohousing. Although it didn't sport any fancy titles, nor were the residents organized on any fancy committees.
The residents were all recent immigrants to France. Their lifestyles reflected much more rural, family/clan based organization, but seemed to live quite peaceably in what most people would consider VERY small spaces.
Their story is all in french, but for those who don't read french, there are some very interesting images.
