Given airport codes are namespaced by ICAO, it seems a bit of an oversight that the same scheme hasn’t been extended to other infrastructure like VORs and waypoints for systems exactly like this one, for cases when uniqueness is required.

And there is an airport at Deauville (DOL/LFRG): * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deauville–Normandie_Airport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deauville–Normandie_Airport 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%22E/?entry=ttu 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 https://opennav.com/navaid/FR/DVL/DEAUVILLE+SAINT+GATIEN
