Which side of the plane to sit from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (Calvi) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the French Riviera's coastline and the distant, snow-capped French Alps during the cruise phase.
Cap Corse
The northernmost tip of Corsica, visible as the aircraft heads towards mainland France.
French Riviera
Stunning views of the Côte d'Azur, including the Bay of Angels and Cannes coastline.
The Alps
Distant but majestic views of the high Alpine peaks to the east under clear conditions.
Lyon Cityscape
The confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers within France's third-largest city.
Greater Paris
Panoramic views of the capital's southeastern suburbs and the Seine River on final approach.
A morning departure ensures the sun illuminates the Alps and the Riviera perfectly. Keep your eyes peeled 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the transition from sea to land near Nice. On final approach, look for the Eiffel Tower in the distance if the wind configuration permits a northern arrival.
Revellata Peninsula
Rugged granite cliffs and turquoise waters immediately after departing Calvi.
Massif Central
Aerial perspective of the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of extinct volcanic domes.
Upper Loire Valley
View of the southern reaches of France's longest river as it winds through rural landscapes.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive green lung of deciduous trees signaling the proximity to the capital.
Opt for an afternoon flight to avoid sun glare on this side. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into Orly if the flight path approaches from the west, offering views of the Essonne department's countryside.
