AIUI, most VORs (and in the past, NDBs) are located at airports. And there is an airport at Deauville (DOL/LFRG):

But the beacon is elsewhere, apparently in some random(?) field:

* https://www.google.com/maps/place/49°18'38.0%22N+0°18'45.0%2...

* https://opennav.com/navaid/FR/DVL/DEAUVILLE+SAINT+GATIEN



There are plenty of navaids that aren’t associated with an airport, there’s probably around a dozen like this just south-east England.
