Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

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.
