No new airport for Nantes

I see that the government of France has nixed construction of a proposed new airport. Per Wikipedia, ‘The Grand Ouest Airport, or Aéroport du Grand Ouest Project was to be situated 30 km (20 mi) to the north-west of the French city of Nantes in the commune of Notre-Dame-des-Landes. It was intended for the new airport to replace Nantes Atlantique Airport as the airport for Nantes, but also to serve as an international gateway for western France.’
Major new airports are rare, I believe. Are the other French airports overcrowded?
