Which side of the plane to sit from Bergerac-Roumanière Airport (Bergerac) to Périgueux-Bassillac Airport (Perigueux)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the iconic Dordogne River loops and the classic limestone architecture of the Perigord villages during this short hop.
Dordogne River Curves
Stunning views of the meandering river as it flows through the valley towards Lalinde.
Perigordian Châteaux
Spot numerous small manors and fortified farmhouses built from the region's signature golden stone.
Vergt Valley
A patchwork of agricultural fields and strawberry tunnels that create unique geometric patterns on the ground.
Rolling Limousin Foothills
The transition into the greener, more undulating terrain of the Périgord Blanc region.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid sun glare while viewing the river valley. Look for the contrast between the dark green forests and the white limestone outcrops. This is the better side for spotting traditional rural French architecture and river activity.
Pécharmant Vineyards
Vibrant rows of grapevines immediately north of Bergerac city center visible during initial climb.
Forêt de la Double
A vast expanse of oak and pine forests dotted with hidden ponds stretching toward the horizon.
Cathédrale Saint-Front
The iconic five-domed Byzantine cathedral of Périgueux dominates the skyline during the final approach.
Sit on the left to capture the historic urban centers of both cities. The late afternoon light is particularly flattering for the white limestone of Périgueux's old town. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the vineyard patterns.
