Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic transition from the turquoise Mediterranean waters to the snow-capped summits of the French Alps, followed by the historic vineyards of Eastern France.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

French Alps

Unrivaled panoramas of the Southern and High Alps, including potential views of Mont Blanc depending on the specific flight corridor.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

A bird's-eye view of the world-famous 'Climats' and organized vineyard patterns of the Cote d'Or.

🍾

Champagne Region

Gentle rolling hills and historic landscapes of the Grand Est region as you approach Northern France.

🌆

Lille Metropole

A full view of the urban sprawl encompassing Lille, Roubaix, and the Belgian border area during the final approach.

The right side is premier for alpine scenery. Aim for a morning or midday flight when the sun illuminates the mountain peaks. Have your camera ready approximately 30 minutes after departure as you cross the mainland coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Corsican West Coast

Breathtaking views of the rugged granite coastline and deep blue bays of South Corsica immediately after takeoff.

🌋

Massif Central

Look for the distinctive silhouettes of ancient dormant volcanoes and green plateaus in Central France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Spot the winding Loire River and the dense forests surrounding legendary historic chateaux.

🗼

Paris Skyline

On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and La Defense skyline are often visible in the distance during the northern descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun. Keep your eyes peeled 15 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Corsican shoreline before crossing the sea.
