Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Massif Central, specifically the volcanic peaks of Auvergne which are the highlight of this short domestic route.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Chaîne des Puys

A spectacular alignment of 80 dormant volcanoes, including the iconic cinder cones.

⛰️

Puy de Dôme

The highest peak in the chain, identifiable by its prominent telecommunications tower.

🏔️

Monts du Cantal

Fly over the remains of Europe's largest stratovolcano, featuring deep glacial valleys.

🌊

Garonne River

The winding river that guides the aircraft's final approach into the Occitanie region.

✈️

Airbus Assembly Lines

A rare view of the massive A350 and A320 assembly hangars right next to the TLS runways.

The right side is the 'geological' side of the plane. The volcanic parks of Auvergne appear about 20-25 minutes into the flight. Ensure your window is clean for photos of the Airbus factory upon landing, which is one of the largest industrial sites in Europe.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🍇

Côte d'Or Vineyards

Immediately after takeoff, see the prestigious wine regions of Burgundy stretching south.

🏙️

Lyon Confluence

A distant view of the dense urban center where the Saône and Rhône rivers meet.

🏔️

Distant French Alps

On very clear days, the snow-capped silhouette of Mont Blanc is visible on the eastern horizon.

⛰️

Mont Pilat

The rugged eastern frontier of the Massif Central overlooking the Rhône Valley corridor.

🏘️

Toulouse City Center

Depending on the wind direction, a left-side seat often captures the 'Pink City' during the final bank.

Sit here if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the glare of the setting sun. For the best chance of seeing the Alps, choose a morning flight when the air is crisp and the sun is behind you, illuminating the distant peaks.
