Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panorama of the High Alps and the dramatic coastline of the French Riviera before crossing the Mediterranean to Corsica.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Metz & Nancy

Early flight views of the historic Moselle valley and the urban landscapes of Lorraine.

πŸ”οΈ

The High Alps

Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks, potentially including the Ecrins Massif and distant views of Mont Blanc.

πŸ’§

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man is often visible on the horizon during the transition to southern France.

πŸ–οΈ

French Riviera

Breathtaking views of the coastline near Nice and Monaco as the plane leaves the mainland.

🌊

Ligurian Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with ferries and yachts crossing to the island.

🏝️

Cap Corse

The northern tip of Corsica, known as 'The Finger', appears as you begin your final descent.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain scenery. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses. Watch for the sudden transition from rugged Alpine peaks to the bright azure of the Mediterranean Sea.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🍷

Burgundy Region

Lush vineyard landscapes and the rolling hills of central-eastern France.

🏞️

Rhone Valley

The winding Rhone River and the agricultural heartland of Provence.

⛰️

Mont Ventoux

The isolated 'Giant of Provence' stands out clearly from the surrounding lower terrain.

🏜️

Verdon Gorge

Distant views of the deep turquoise canyon, one of Europe's most impressive natural wonders.

πŸ”΄

Esterel Massif

Striking red volcanic rock formations where the mountains meet the sea near Cannes.

🏰

Calvi Citadel

Unbeatable views of the 13th-century Genoese fortress during the final approach into the airport.

The right side is ideal for the final approach into Calvi-Sainte-Catherine. If the plane circles the bay, you get a front-row seat to the Citadel and the harbor. It is also generally better for avoiding direct glare during morning departures from Luxembourg.
