Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of geographic landmarks, including the volcanic peaks of Auvergne, the prestigious Burgundy vineyards, and a sweeping view of the Vosges mountains and the Black Forest.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌋

Chaîne des Puys

The dramatic alignment of dormant volcanoes in the Auvergne region, including the iconic Puy de Dôme.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

Fly over the golden slopes of the Côte d'Or, home to some of the world's most famous wine estates near Dijon.

⛰️

The Vosges

A close-up view of the Ballons des Vosges peaks as the plane begins its descent into the Alsace plain.

🌲

Black Forest

On clear days, the dark silhouette of Germany's Black Forest is visible across the Rhine valley.

🏔️

Distant Alps

High-altitude views of the Swiss Alps are often visible on the far horizon to the southeast.

Choose the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Massif Central. During winter months, the snow-capped volcanoes and the Vosges peaks are particularly stunning. Look out for the Rhine river which marks the border with Germany.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Bordeaux Center

Aerial view of the 'Port of the Moon' and the Garonne river loops immediately after takeoff from Mérignac.

🌳

Morvan Park

The dense forests and granite massifs of the Morvan Regional Natural Park in central France.

🏛️

Strasbourg Landmarks

Excellent views of the European Parliament building and the historic city center during the final approach from the north.

Sit on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you. On a standard northern approach to SXB, this side provides the best view of the Strasbourg cathedral spire and the 'Petite France' district just before touchdown.
