Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌷

Dutch Polder Landscapes

Geometric canal networks and green fields of the southern Netherlands immediately after takeoff.

🌲

Ardennes Foothills

Dense forest patches and rolling hills of eastern Belgium and the French border region.

🌋

Chaîne des Puys

A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring a chain of extinct volcanic cones in the Massif Central.

🏞️

Tarn River Valley

Winding river gorges and limestone plateaus as the flight enters the Occitanie region.

🏗️

Airbus Assembly Line

Aerial view of the massive A350 and A320 assembly plants located on the airport perimeter.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Mid-flight, keep a close watch for the Puy de Dôme, the tallest volcano in the region. During the final approach, the left side is superior for spotting the sprawling aerospace infrastructure that defines Toulouse.

Right Side Highlights

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

One of the world's largest ports is often visible to the west during the initial climb.

🗼

Greater Paris

On clear days, the western suburbs and sometimes the Eiffel Tower can be spotted in the distance.

🏰

Loire Valley

The 'Garden of France' featuring the winding Loire River and glimpses of historic châteaux.

🛤️

Limousin Plateau

Rugged granite landscapes and rural French countryside typical of central France.

🌇

Toulouse City Center

A beautiful view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River if the flight approaches from the north.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over western France. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you may see the mouth of the Seine. In winter, look for the distant snow-capped Pyrenees on the horizon during the descent.
