MIRNTE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of Corsica, distant views of the snow-capped Alps, and the iconic volcanic chains of the Massif Central before descending into the Loire Valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🕌

Monastir Ribat

A stunning immediate view of the historic fortress and the marina as the aircraft climbs out of MIR.

🏔️

Corsican Highlands

Dramatic views of the jagged granite peaks of Corsica, often snow-capped during the winter and spring months.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the high peaks of the French and Swiss Alps are visible on the horizon to the northeast.

🌋

Chaîne des Puys

The UNESCO-listed row of dormant volcanoes, including the distinctive Puy de Dôme peak near Clermont-Ferrand.

🛶

The Loire River

A perfect view of France's longest river winding its way through the landscape towards the Atlantic.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare. Look out for the volcanic craters of central France approximately 40 minutes before landing. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over Corsica, the mountain views are world-class.

🏖️

Tunisian Sahel

Aerial views of the Sousse coastline and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Hammamet immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Western Sardinia

The rugged western cliffs and hidden coves of the Italian island, often passing near the city of Alghero.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

A wide-angle view of the Mediterranean coastline near Montpellier and the lagoons of southern France.

⛰️

Cévennes Mountains

The southern edge of the Massif Central, featuring deep valleys and dense forest terrain.

🏰

Southern Loire Valley

Glance down at the historic chateaus and vineyards of the southern Loire region during the final descent.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunsets if flying during the late afternoon or evening. This side also offers better views of the Balearic Sea and the western reaches of the French coastline as you approach Nantes.
