Yes, you can smoke at La Rochelle – Île de Ré Airport (LRH) — outdoors only, in the open air in front of the single terminal building. The terminal interior is non-smoking.
Outside the Terminal
La Rochelle – Île de Ré (LRH) is a small coastal airport with a single, compact terminal, served by easyJet and Ryanair. Smoking is in the open air outside the terminal, near the entrances. Because the building is small, it is a quick walk from the outdoor areas back to check-in and security.
After Security
There is no indoor smoking room or airside terrace here, so plan to smoke outside the terminal before you clear security. When you land, you can smoke again in the same outdoor areas in front of the building.
