Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of France's diverse interior, featuring the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central and a stunning approach toward the Pyrenees mountains.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the distant urban sprawl of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the west.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Incredible views of the Chaîne des Puys, including the perfectly conical Puy de Dôme volcano.

⛰️

Cévennes National Park

Rugged, mountainous terrain characterized by deep limestone gorges and high plateaus.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

The majestic, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees range dominate the horizon during the descent.

🏰

Perpignan City

A bird's-eye view of the city's red-tiled roofs and the Palace of the Kings of Majorca on arrival.

The right side is the 'mountain side'. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the volcanic craters of Auvergne. In winter, the snow-capped Pyrenees are a must-see during the descent into PGF.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Ardennes & Meuse

Lush green forest cover and the winding Meuse river shortly after departing Charleroi.

🍾

Champagne Region

The orderly, geometric patterns of the famous vineyards around Reims and the Marne Valley.

🌊

Golfe du Lion

The Mediterranean coastline begins to appear as the aircraft descends toward the Occitanie region.

🦩

Narbonne Lagoons

Glistening salt marshes and coastal lagoons like the Étang de Bages during the final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is excellent for spotting the Mediterranean coastline as you approach Perpignan, especially during the final 15 minutes of flight.
