Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of geographical features, including the white cliffs of the English coast, the dramatic volcanic peaks of the Massif Central, and the unique pink salt marshes of the Camargue delta during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

English Channel Coast

Stunning views of the Sussex coastline and the sparkling waters of the Channel as the plane crosses into French airspace.

🌋

Auvergne Volcanoes

Dramatic views of the Chaîne des Puys, a chain of extinct volcanic craters including the famous Puy de Dôme.

🌲

Cévennes National Park

The rugged, forested mountains and deep canyons of the southern edge of the Massif Central.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The expansive delta of the Rhône, famous for its wild white horses, flamingos, and vibrant pink salt pans.

🌊

Mediterranean Shoreline

As the flight nears Nîmes, the coastline of the Golfe du Lion stretches out toward the horizon.

The right side is highly recommended for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm 'golden hour' light hitting the volcanic peaks of Central France. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the distinct colors of the Camargue salt flats.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

London Cityscape

Aerial views of the Greater London area and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure from Luton.

🗼

Parisian Horizon

On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the urban expanse of Paris are often visible to the west as you cross Northern France.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glances of the winding Loire River and the historic estates scattered throughout the 'Garden of France'.

🍇

Rhône Valley Vineyards

The lush, structured patterns of the famous wine regions leading down toward the Mediterranean.

🏛️

Nîmes Roman Arena

The exceptionally well-preserved 1st-century Roman amphitheater visible in the city center during the final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the urban sprawl of London upon takeoff and a prime view of the historic center of Nîmes if the aircraft approaches from the north.
