Yes, you can smoke at Châlons Vatry Airport (XCR) — outdoors only, in the open air in front of the terminal building. The terminal interior is non-smoking.
Outside the Terminal
Châlons Vatry (XCR), about 160 km east of Paris, is primarily a cargo and charter airport with limited seasonal passenger flights. Smoking is in the open air outside the terminal, near the entrance. Step clear of the doorways and use the marked areas if signed.
After Security
The passenger area is small and there is no indoor smoking room or airside terrace, 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.
