Yes — you can smoke at Toulon Hyères Le Palyvestre Airport (TLN) in the outdoor areas around the single passenger terminal, including the forecourt and the kerbside pavement near the entrance doors. The terminal building itself is smoke-free, so plan to step outside whenever you need a cigarette.
Single Terminal – Outdoor Areas
Toulon Hyères is a small, single-terminal airport serving the French Riviera and the Var region, so the smoking arrangement is simple. Smoking is permitted outside the terminal building, in the open-air zones by the main entrance and along the forecourt where passengers are dropped off and picked up.
Because the terminal is compact, these outdoor areas sit just a few steps from check-in, the cafés, and the departure hall. Look for the open kerbside space immediately outside the doors; there is no need to walk far to reach it.
Before and After Security
There are no enclosed indoor smoking rooms inside the departure lounge at TLN. Once you pass through security and boarding-card control, you stay in the secure zone until you board, so the practical move is to have your final cigarette outside before you go through the checkpoint.
If you are arriving, the same outdoor areas by the terminal entrance are the place to light up once you have collected your bag and stepped out of the building.
