Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the iconic Paris skyline in the distance, the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central, and a stunning approach over the Mediterranean coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Paris Skyline

Distant but clear views of the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Loire Valley

Bird's-eye view of the winding Loire River and the historic châteaux scattered across the landscape.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Dramatic sightings of the Chaîne des Puys, including the iconic rounded peak of Puy de Dôme.

🏞️

Cévennes National Park

Rugged granite mountains and deep forested valleys as you transition into Southern France.

🌊

Montpellier & Coast

The sparkling Mediterranean Sea and the urban sprawl of Montpellier during the final descent.

Book an early morning flight for the best sunlight reflecting off the volcanic peaks. On departure from BVA, the plane usually banks south, placing the Paris basin to your left; keep your camera ready for the city silhouette roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏛️

Palace of Versailles

Views of the sprawling gardens and historic royal estate when passing west of the capital.

🗺️

Causses du Quercy

High limestone plateaus and the winding canyons of the Lot and Tarn rivers.

🏔️

Pyrenees Silhouette

On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees are visible on the far southern horizon.

🦩

Étang de Thau

Massive coastal lagoons famous for oyster farming, visible just before landing at BZR.

⚓

Sète

The 'Venice of Languedoc' and its distinctive Mont Saint-Clair hill rising from the sea.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to enjoy the warm glow over the rural French countryside. During the final approach into Béziers, look for the geometric patterns of the salt marshes and oyster beds in the lagoons.
