CDG β MIR
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (Monastir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the snow-capped Alps during the cruise and an exceptional view of the historic Tunisian coastline and the city of Sousse during the final descent into Monastir.
Parisian Outskirts
Aerial views of the sprawling Greater Paris area and the Marne River valley shortly after departure from CDG.
The French Alps
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible to the east as you head south.
CΓ΄te d'Azur
Views of the French Riviera's sparkling blue waters as the aircraft transitions from land to the Mediterranean Sea.
Corsica & Sardinia
Glance down at the rugged eastern coastlines of these Mediterranean islands, featuring hidden coves and granite cliffs.
Sousse & Monastir
A stunning perspective of the UNESCO-listed Medina of Sousse and the Ribat of Monastir during the landing sequence.
For the best experience, choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Alps and the Tunisian coast. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the coastal views.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the famous French wine regions are visible during the initial stages of the flight.
Massif Central
Look for the ancient volcanic domes and deep valleys of central France's high plateau region.
Western Corsica
The dramatic cliffs of the Scandola Nature Reserve can sometimes be spotted if the flight path tracks westward.
Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue sea, particularly striking during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set.
Cap Bon Peninsula
Views of the northeastern tip of Tunisia, characterized by citrus groves and white sandy beaches, as you approach the Gulf of Hammamet.
The right side is excellent for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During descent, look for the 'salt pans' (Sebkhet de Sahline) just west of the airport, which often display unique pink and white hues from above.
