MIR → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (Monastir) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean islands, the distant peaks of the Alps as you cross France, and a superior angle of the Paris skyline during the approach to Charles de Gaulle.
Sardinian Coast
The emerald waters and white sandy beaches of the Costa Smeralda in northern Sardinia.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the eastern horizon.
Burgundy Vineyards
The orderly rows of world-famous vineyards in the Cote d'Or region as you fly over eastern France.
Paris City Center
An iconic view of the Eiffel Tower, Sacre-Coeur, and the Seine River if the plane approaches CDG from the south or east.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; if the wind is from the west, the right side provides the classic panoramic view of central Paris before landing.
Gulf of Tunis
Aerial view of the Tunisian capital and the ancient ruins of Carthage as the plane heads north across the coast.
Western Corsica
Dramatic views of the rugged granite cliffs and the red rocks of the Scandola Nature Reserve.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its famous Renaissance chateaus visible during the descent into the Paris basin.
French Countryside
The patchwork of agricultural fields and dense forests of central France before entering the suburban sprawl.
Sit on the left for softer lighting in the afternoon as the sun moves west. This side is also excellent for viewing the western coastline of the Mediterranean islands and the volcanic peaks of the Massif Central if the route deviates slightly west.
