Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior departure view of the dramatic limestone cliffs of southern Corsica and the stunning turquoise waters of the Lavezzi Islands, followed by a scenic entry into mainland France over the unique wetlands of the Camargue.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Bonifacio White Cliffs

Dramatic limestone cliffs and sea caves at the southern tip of Corsica visible immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Lavezzi Archipelago

Crystal-clear turquoise waters and granite islets between Corsica and Sardinia.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The vast salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone delta, famous for pink flamingos and wild white horses.

🌉

Millau Viaduct

The world's tallest bridge span crossing the Tarn Valley is often visible as you cross the Massif Central.

⛰️

Grands Causses

High limestone plateaus and deep gorges of the southern Massif Central mountain range.

🍷

Charente Vineyards

The neatly organized rows of vineyards approaching Angoulême, the heart of the Cognac region.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Corsican coastline during ascent. For the best lighting, mid-morning flights minimize glare over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready as you cross the French coast near Sète for the vibrant colors of the Thau lagoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Corsican Highlands

The rugged, mountainous spine of central Corsica, including peaks that remain snow-capped into late spring.

⚓

Marseille Coastline

Panoramic views of France's second-largest city and the busy maritime traffic of the Gulf of Lion.

🏟️

Nîmes Roman Heritage

Aerial perspective of the remarkably preserved Roman Arena and the ancient urban layout of Nîmes.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Distant views of the dormant volcanic domes of the Chaîne des Puys in the heart of France.

🏰

Angoulême Plateau

The historic walled city of Angoulême perched on a rocky promontory as you descend into the airport.

The right side is excellent for spotting the high peaks of Corsica shortly after takeoff. If the flight path tracks slightly east, you may catch a glimpse of the Alps in the far distance. During late afternoon flights, this side enjoys the warm 'golden hour' light over the Massif Central.
