Which side of the plane to sit from Limoges Airport (Limoges) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Massif Central volcanoes followed by a majestic traversal of the Southern Alps and a grand entry into the French Riviera.
Chaîne des Puys
Views of the ancient dormant volcanoes of the Auvergne region shortly after takeoff.
Southern Alps
Dramatic snow-capped peaks and rugged limestone massifs as you approach the Provence region.
Lac de Sainte-Croix
The stunning turquoise waters at the entrance of the Gorges du Verdon.
Nice Promenade
A sweeping view of the Promenade des Anglais and the Baie des Anges during the final turn for landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the Alps. On the standard 'Riviera' approach, the plane often makes a 180-degree turn over the sea, providing a perfect panoramic view of the entire city of Nice and the port.
Rhône Valley
Aerial views of the winding Rhône river and the famous vineyards of the Hermitage region.
Mont Ventoux
The isolated 'Bald Mountain,' a legendary site for cycling enthusiasts, standing tall above Provence.
Cannes & Esterel
The red volcanic rocks of the Massif de l'Esterel meeting the blue Mediterranean near Cannes.
Antibes Yacht Port
Clear views of the billionaire's quay and the historic Fort Carré just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Mediterranean on late afternoon flights. During the descent, you will have a front-row seat to the luxury coastline of the Côte d'Azur including the Lerins Islands and the Cap d'Antibes.
