Yes, you can smoke at Rodez Marcillac Airport (RDZ) — in designated outdoor areas outside the terminal building. The terminal interior is non-smoking and there is no airside smoking area, so plan your last cigarette before you pass through security.

Where to Smoke

Rodez–Aveyron is a small single-terminal regional airport, with Volotea flying year-round to Paris-Orly plus seasonal routes around Europe. 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.
