Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the meandering Loire River valley and its famous châteaux, followed by an excellent view of the rolling vineyards as the aircraft descends into the Périgord region.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌾

Picardy Plains

Geometric patterns of the vast agricultural fields in Northern France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Iconic views of the Loire River and its collection of historic royal châteaux.

💧

Vienne River

The winding blue ribbon of the Vienne river cutting through the rural French countryside.

🍇

Monbazillac Vineyards

Vibrant green rows of world-famous vines surrounding Bergerac during the final approach.

🏘️

Bergerac Old Town

A clear view of the medieval city center and the old bridge just before touchdown.

Choose a window seat on the right for the best chance to spot the Loire Châteaux. For morning flights, this side is shaded, providing much better conditions for photography of the French landscape without cabin reflections.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏭

Walloon Industry

Aerial views of the industrial history of Charleroi and the green Sambre valley right after takeoff.

🌲

Forêt d'Orléans

One of the largest national forests in France, appearing as a massive green canopy mid-flight.

🏞️

Limousin Plateau

Rugged, green landscapes and scattered lakes of the Massif Central's western edge.

🏰

Château de Hautefort

A stunning castle often visible on the left side during the initial descent phase into the region.

💧

Dordogne River

The winding curves of the Dordogne river as it flows toward the Atlantic.

On morning flights, expect significant sun glare on this side. It is better for late afternoon departures when the light hits the Limousin plateau. Watch for the massive Forest of Orleans about 25 minutes into the flight.
