Mind you, the French were always fond of putting large aircraft into small fields.
I'd be surprised. Has the runway been chopped ? British Eagle used to put One-Elevens into La Baule in the 1960s, and while I can't find a timetable of this on line, here's one with a Britannia operating there, which must have a similar requirement.

Here I answer my own question. Montoir airport, La Baule (from the above timetable), LFRZ, has a runway of 2,400m, and is now knwn as St. Nazaire. La Baule Escoublac is 8km away and has indeed a 945m strip
