Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the iconic Mont Saint-Michel and the dramatic southern coastline of Jersey during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Paris Cityscape

Distant views of the Eiffel Tower and La Défense skyline immediately after takeoff from CDG.

🏰

Palace of Versailles

The expansive gardens and palace complex are often visible to the south during the climb out of the Parisian basin.

🌾

Normandy Bocage

Characteristic patchwork of small fields and hedgerows typical of the French countryside.

⛪

Mont Saint-Michel

The world-famous abbey on a rocky island is the highlight of the flight, appearing shortly before crossing the coast.

🪨

Les Minquiers

A vast plateau of rocks and reefs south of Jersey that emerges dramatically during low tide.

🏖️

St. Clement's Bay

The southeastern corner of Jersey featuring massive tidal variations and lunar-like coastal landscapes.

For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to ensure the sun is behind you, illuminating Mont Saint-Michel perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff. If the plane lands on Runway 26, you will get an incredible low-altitude view of the Jersey coastline and St. Helier.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Le Havre & Seine Estuary

The massive industrial port where the Seine River meets the English Channel.

🏖️

D-Day Beaches

Aerial views of the historic Normandy landing sectors including Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches.

⚓

Cherbourg Peninsula

The rugged tip of the Cotentin Peninsula and its massive artificial harbor breakwaters.

🌊

The Channel Islands

Distant glimpses of the islands of Sark and Alderney to the north as you approach Jersey.

⛰️

Jersey North Coast

The high granite cliffs and hidden coves of Jersey's northern edge during the descent.

Choose the right side if you are a history buff interested in seeing the D-Day beaches from above. Morning flights provide the best lighting for this side. Note that visibility can be limited by sea mist common in the English Channel, so check the weather forecast for clear skies over Normandy.
