The policy is 300 miles, the map below shows quite a few alternatives open to you bearing in mind a lot of the area is sea. MRS and GOA are nearby, LYS further off but on the train dead easy to get to, the airport is above the TGV station. Turin isn't so far off but more awkward. But even Rome is inside that space. Travel costs to these airports is at your expense, reclaimable in some EC261 scenarios.
