The Loire River
Follow the winding blue curves of France's longest river as it snakes through the valley.
Château de Saumur
A stunning fairy-tale castle perched on a hill overlooking the confluence of the Loire and Thouet.
Anjou Vineyards
A geometric patchwork of famous vineyards stretching across the rolling hills of the Loire region.
Chartres Cathedral
The distinct asymmetrical twin spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site rising from the Beauce plains.
Paris Landmarks
Clear views of the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, and La Défense skyline on the standard southern approach.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this short hop. For the best views of the Paris skyline, hope for a western approach (landing towards the east). Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the white limestone of the Loire châteaux and the city of Paris perfectly.
