La Ferté-Gaucher Airfield is a small general aviation aerodrome situated in the Seine-et-Marne department of the Île-de-France region, roughly 80 kilometres east of Paris. It serves private pilots, flight training schools, and leisure aviation enthusiasts rather than commercial airline traffic. The airfield reflects the unhurried character of the surrounding Brie countryside and acts as a local hub for the regional flying community.

Coulommiers, known for its eponymous cheese, is a short drive and offers a wider choice of restaurants.
- Contact the aero-club in advance as the airfield may not be staffed outside scheduled flying hours.
- Fuel availability should be confirmed ahead of arrival, as services at small aerodromes can be limited.
- The surrounding Brie plateau can produce low morning fog — check local METAR and TAF carefully before departure.
