Which side of the plane to sit from Lannion-Côte de Granit Airport (Lannion) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Brittany coastline upon departure and the potential for glimpses of Mont-Saint-Michel and the Normandy coast during the cruise phase.
Côte de Granit Rose
Unique pink rock formations and turquoise waters visible immediately after takeoff from Lannion.
Baie de Saint-Brieuc
A wide view of the northern Breton coastline and the English Channel to the north.
Mont-Saint-Michel
On clear days, the iconic abbey can be spotted as a tiny silhouette on the horizon to the northeast.
Seine River Meanders
As the flight approaches the Île-de-France, look for the dramatic loops of the Seine river.
Paris Skyline
Depending on the arrival vector, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense may appear in the distance during descent.
Choose the left side for the morning flights to avoid the direct sun. The highlight is the first 5 minutes over the Pink Granite Coast; keep your camera ready. If the aircraft circles north before landing at Orly, you may get an excellent view of the southern Parisian suburbs and the urban sprawl.
Armorique Regional Park
Views of the rolling green hills and dense forests of the Breton interior.
City of Rennes
The administrative capital of Brittany is often visible to the south during the mid-flight phase.
Chartres Cathedral
Look for the distinct twin spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site standing out from the flat plains of Beauce.
Rambouillet Forest
A massive expanse of green woodland signaling the proximity to the Paris metropolitan area.
The right side is best during late afternoon flights for beautiful golden hour lighting over the French countryside. Keep an eye out for Chartres Cathedral roughly 15 minutes before landing. Be aware that southern views can be prone to glare when flying eastward in the morning.
