Various sources differ with Senlis Airport.


Source 1 lists two runways under this name.
According to him, the first was located near the commune of Senlis in the Oise department north of Paris, where the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th RFC squadrons were stationed in August 1914.
The second was near the village of Senlis-le-Sec in the Somme department, where the 1st, 15th, 43rd and 93rd RAF Squadrons were based between September and November.


In addition, source 2 lists an area near the village of Senlis in the Pas-de-Calais département as an airfield used by the British, without further details.


Source 3 lists an area near the commune of Senlis in the Oise department north of Paris as an airfield probably used during World War I, without further details.


My deduction, taking into account aircraft capabilities early in WW1, is that the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th RFC squadrons flew into France to an area near Senlis in the Pas-de-Calais département and the RAF squadrons were based near the commune of Senlis-le-Sec in the Somme département. But this is only an assumption, I don't have access to primary sources.
