CRL โ GRO
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Auvergne volcanic chain and a spectacular approach to the Pyrenees mountains before landing.
Loire Valley
Views of the wide river basin and historic French estates in the distance.
Chaรฎne des Puys
A unique line of extinct volcanic craters in the Auvergne region, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Massif Central
Rugged terrain and deep valleys of the central French highlands.
Pyrenees Mountains
Dramatic snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between France and Spain.
Girona Skyline
Glimpses of the Onyar River and the Cathedral of Saint Mary during the final descent.
The right side is essential for seeing the volcanic craters of Auvergne. Try to book an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Pyrenees as you approach Girona. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the volcanoes.
Champagne Region
Aerial views of the rolling vineyards and rural landscapes of northern France shortly after takeoff.
Burgundy Hills
The scenic patchwork of the famous wine-growing regions in central France.
Rhone Valley
Distant views of the winding Rhone river as the flight path heads toward the Mediterranean.
Gulf of Lion
The azure waters of the Mediterranean coast appearing near the French-Spanish border.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for seeing the Mediterranean coastline during the final approach into Girona, especially if the plane circles from the sea.
