The right side is essential for seeing the city of Nice and the Alps. During the typical 'Riviera' approach, the plane makes a sweeping turn over the water, providing a cinematic view of the entire city. Late afternoon flights offer stunning lighting as the sun sets over the Var valley, casting long shadows across the mountains.
