| Deauville Normandie airport (regional) | DOL | 42 km (26 mi) | 8,366 ft | 479 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,233 ft, CFR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 256 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
