AVN → LIG
Which side of the plane to sit from Avignon-Caumont Airport (Avignon) to Limoges Airport (Limoges)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the volcanic heart of France, including the Ardèche and the dramatic peaks of the Cantal.
Mont Ventoux
The distinctive white limestone summit of Provence's highest peak visible shortly after takeoff.
Ardèche Gorges
The winding limestone canyons and the famous Pont d'Arc visible to the northeast.
Cantal Massif
Spectacular views of Europe's largest stratovolcano and its radiating green valleys.
Limousin Castles
Medieval fortresses and Romanesque churches dotting the green landscape during the descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun illuminates the volcanic craters of the Massif Central. During winter and spring, the snow-capped peaks of the Cantal are particularly striking against the green valleys below.
Nîmes
Early views of the historical Roman city and its famous arena to the southwest.
Cévennes National Park
Rugged limestone plateaus and deep ravines of this UNESCO-protected wilderness.
Millau Viaduct
The world's tallest bridge towers spanning the Tarn valley are often visible mid-flight.
Lot River
Serpentine river bends carving through the Quercy limestone plateau near Cahors.
Sit on the left for morning flights to minimize solar glare. The Millau Viaduct is the primary landmark to watch for approximately 25 minutes after departure, though visibility depends on the specific airway assigned.
