Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the dense forests of the Ardennes, the ridges of the Vosges, and a distant but spectacular view of the snow-capped French Alps and Mont Blanc as you head south.
Ardennes Forest
The flight crosses the lush, undulating hills and deep river valleys of the Belgian and French Ardennes shortly after takeoff.
Vosges Mountains
Dramatic granite peaks and forested slopes of Eastern France provide a rugged landscape mid-flight.
The French Alps
On clear days, the distant skyline of the high Alps, including the unmistakable silhouette of Mont Blanc, is visible to the southeast.
Rhone-Alpes Panorama
A sprawling view of the pre-Alps and the vast agricultural plains of the Isère region.
Provençal Landscapes
As the plane descends, the landscape transforms into the iconic limestone ridges and scattered villages of Provence.
Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the Alps. During the final descent into Marseille, look for the 'Montagne Sainte-Victoire', famously painted by Paul Cézanne, which often appears prominently on this side.
Champagne Vineyards
The aircraft passes over the world-famous rolling plains and vine-covered slopes of the Reims and Épernay regions.
The Meuse River
Visible as a winding silver ribbon snaking through the industrial and natural heart of Wallonia and Northern France.
Burgundy Region
Bird's-eye views of the prestigious 'Climats' vineyards around Dijon and the historic chateaus of central France.
Rhone River Valley
The flight often tracks near the wide Rhone river, offering views of Avignon and its famous bridge during the approach.
Camargue Wetlands
On the final approach to MRS, the right side provides views of the lagoons, salt pans, and marshes of the Rhone delta.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Massif Central. During the landing approach at MRS, if the plane enters from the south over the sea, the right side offers a superior view of the Étang de Berre and the Mediterranean coastline.
