Confused: Miles required for award?

I'm confused (admittedly it's been a long time since I've used Flying Blue). I'm trying to book an award ticket from DTW-NCE, in economy.

The 'Miles Finder' tells me that this ticket should cost 50,000 miles (which I assume is round-trip, since "Your Award ticket with SkyTeam and other partner airlines must be for a return flight. One-way tickets are only available on KLM and Air France flights (for half the number of Award Miles required for a return ticket).")

When I check availability for the award, however, the website tells me that "Your Award ticket with SkyTeam and other partner airlines must be for a return flight. One-way tickets are only available on KLM and Air France flights (for half the number of Award Miles required for a return ticket)."

I've got about 77K miles in my account.

Is this a website glitch, have I misinterpreted the 'Miles Finder', or have I misinterpreted the award ticket requirements?

I just tried DTW-NCE on airfrance.com and I get 25k for a one way flight + $116 taxes.
