NTE β TUN
Which side of the plane to sit from Nantes Atlantique Airport (Nantes) to Tunis Carthage International Airport (Tunis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the Corsican mountain ranges and a spectacular coastal approach into the Gulf of Tunis with views of the historic Sidi Bou Said area.
Massif Central
Aerial views of the ancient volcanic formations in central France shortly after departure from Nantes.
French Riviera
Distant glimpses of the CΓ΄te d'Azur and the sprawling metropolitan area of Marseille.
Corsican Peaks
High-altitude perspective of Monte Cinto and the rugged, snow-dusted spine of Corsica.
Bonifacio Straits
The narrow passage between Corsica and Sardinia, marked by dramatic limestone cliffs.
Sidi Bou Said
The iconic blue and white village perched on a cliffside as the plane descends into Tunis.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight glare. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the vibrant turquoise waters of the Gulf of Tunis and the steep cliffs of the North Tunisian coast.
Loire Estuary
Immediate views of the Loire river winding toward the Atlantic Ocean after takeoff.
Pyrenees Range
On clear days, the distant serrated horizon of the Pyrenees mountains is visible to the south.
Western Sardinia
Detailed views of the rugged western coastline and the crystal-clear waters of the Alghero region.
Bizerte Lakes
The unique layout of Lake Bizerte and Lake Ichkeul as you cross the North African coastline.
Carthage Ruins
The sprawling archaeological site of Ancient Carthage visible during the final turn for landing.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to watch the sun dip into the Mediterranean. Watch for the transition from the deep blue sea to the distinct golden hues of the Tunisian landscape near the town of Bizerte.
