Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, the eastern Pyrenees foothills, and distant glimpses of the Alps over central France.
Ardennes Forest
Dense green rolling hills and winding river valleys across the Belgian-French border shortly after departure.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped silhouettes of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible to the far east.
Cévennes National Park
The rugged eastern edge of the Massif Central, featuring dramatic granite plateaus and deep limestone gorges.
Gulf of Lion
The sparkling blue expanse of the Mediterranean Sea as the flight tracks south toward the Spanish border.
Costa Brava Coastline
Breathtaking views of the rugged 'Wild Coast' with its hidden coves and turquoise water during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Mediterranean. Watch for the distinct curve of the French coast as you cross from France into Spain. Seasonal tip: In winter, the contrast between the snowy Pyrenees and the blue sea is exceptional.
Champagne Region
Symmetrical patterns of world-famous vineyards stretching across the rolling plains of northeastern France.
Paris Basin Outskirts
Views of the sprawling French countryside and smaller historic towns surrounding the Île-de-France region.
Puy de Dôme
Look for the iconic rounded volcanic domes of the Chaîne des Puys in the heart of the Massif Central.
High Pyrenees
A spectacular view of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range as the aircraft crosses into Catalonia.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides the best view of the higher, more jagged peaks of the central Pyrenees. Keep a camera ready roughly 70 minutes into the flight for the volcanic landscapes of Auvergne.
