Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the French Riviera, the red cliffs of the Estérel, and the iconic Mediterranean coastline before turning inland towards the Pyrenees horizon.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

French Riviera Coastline

Breathtaking views of Cannes, the Lérins Islands, and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean immediately after departure.

⛰️

Estérel Massif

The striking contrast of red volcanic rocks meeting the deep blue sea near Saint-Raphaël.

🏙️

Marseille & Calanques

Panoramic views of France's oldest city and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.

🦩

Camargue Wetlands

The vast Rhône delta featuring salt pans, lagoons, and unique marshland geography.

🏔️

Distant Pyrenees

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range appear on the southern horizon during the cruise phase.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the coast. For NCE departures, takeoff is often over the water; look down quickly for the Baie des Anges. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly without glare.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🏔️

Southern Alps

Distant but impressive views of the Mercantour National Park and the snow-dusted Southern Alps to the north.

🍷

Provence Countryside

A beautiful patchwork of vineyards, lavender fields, and rolling hills characteristic of the Var region.

🗼

Mont Ventoux

The 'Giant of Provence' is often visible standing solo above the surrounding landscape to the north of the flight path.

🚜

Occitanie Plains

The fertile agricultural heartland of Southwest France visible during the descent into Toulouse.

The right side is better for inland scenery and the rugged hills of Provence. If flying in the late afternoon, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for the Rhône river crossing near Avignon.
