All are French.

Most, maybe all, are subsidised by their local Chamber of Commerce.

Well, yes. That's because I live in France so that's where I return to. They are run by the local Chamber of Commerce, certainly (except Pontoise and Beauvais which are "Aéroports de Paris". Troyes at least turns in a handsome profit for the CoC. I could add Limoges to the list, and I daresay a few more further south.
So, Germany.... Most I paid there was at Bautzen. About 8 euros for 2km of runway, and the stuff that goes with it. Including free loan of bikes to go 3km to the town. One thing they have in common is that they aren't on the channel coast oh, no that won't be it.....Abbeville, Cherbourg, etc.) Belgium, Holland, France, Germany, Spain and Poland all seem to be able to do cheap landings for GA as long as you don't insist on joining in with the heavies. I don't know about Greece or further east than Poland. I won't pay more for a landing than the cost of the petrol to get there
