Yes, you can smoke at Bergerac-Roumanière Airport (EGC) at the designated outdoor areas just outside the terminal entrance, landside. The terminal interior is smoke-free and there is no airside smoking area, so plan your last cigarette before you pass through security.

Where to Smoke

Bergerac-Roumanière is a small single-terminal regional airport in the Dordogne, serving mostly seasonal low-cost flights — chiefly Ryanair routes to the UK (such as London Stansted, Bristol and Liverpool) and the occasional Netherlands service, concentrated in the summer months. Smoking is at the designated outdoor areas just outside the terminal entrance, landside (before security). There are no smoking rooms or terraces past the checkpoint, so connecting and departing passengers should smoke before screening; when you land, you can smoke again in the same areas in front of the terminal. The walk back outside is short, and the compact boarding area has no airside smoking option, so finish your cigarette before you screen.

Vaping

Vaping is treated the same as cigarette smoking: it is not permitted inside the terminal, so use the outdoor areas. France banned single-use disposable (“puff”) vapes in 2025, so carry a refillable device if you vape.
