History

Le-Rozelier Airport is a modern, well-equipped general aviation airport. On the south side of the runway appears to be the remains of a wartime taxiway, along with concrete footers of long-dismantled wartime buildings, probably aircraft shelters. On the north side appears to be the remains of a wartime parking ramp and part of a taxiway.
