Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of the region, including the walled city of Saint-Malo immediately after takeoff and a full panorama of Jersey and the smaller Channel Islands during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🧱

Saint-Malo Intra-muros

The spectacular 'Corsair City' with its historic ramparts and narrow streets surrounded by the sea.

🔌

Rance Tidal Power Station

A unique view of the world's first tidal power plant crossing the Rance river estuary.

🇯🇪

Island of Jersey

Extensive views of the west coast of Jersey, including Corbière Lighthouse and St. Ouen's Bay.

⛵

Saint Peter Port

Guernsey's picturesque capital city and its bustling harbor as you approach the island from the east.

🏝️

Sark and Herm

The smaller, car-free islands of the archipelago appearing as green jewels in the blue channel waters.

This is the 'scenic' side for this specific hop. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of Saint-Malo isn't blocked by the engine. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the French coastline and the Channel Islands perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Fort de la Conchée

A Vauban-designed sea fortress standing isolated in the middle of the bay.

🗼

Cap Fréhel

Dramatic pink sandstone cliffs and a majestic lighthouse visible to the west shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Les Minquiers

An expansive plateau of rocks and sandbanks that emerges from the English Channel, located south of Jersey.

🧗

Guernsey South Cliffs

The rugged, vertical southern coastline of Guernsey as the plane turns for its final approach.

Sit on the left if you want to see the dramatic 'Emerald Coast' of Brittany stretching westward. For the best views of the Minquiers reef, try to fly during low tide when the rock formations are most exposed above the water line.
