ORYAGF

Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Agen-La Garenne Airport (Agen)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most direct views of the Garonne river valley and the unique historic architecture of Agen, including the famous Pont-Canal, during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏢

Southern Paris Suburbs

Detailed views of the urban landscape and southern districts of Paris immediately after takeoff.

🌾

Berry Plains

Fly over the expansive, colorful geometric patterns of the central French agricultural heartland.

🛶

Canal des Deux Mers

Clearly see the long, straight waterway that runs parallel to the Garonne river near Agen.

🌉

Pont-Canal d'Agen

The iconic stone aqueduct carrying the canal over the Garonne is often visible on the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Garonne valley. On the approach to AGF, sit here to see the town of Agen and its famous bridge-canal. Seasonal tip: in spring, the agricultural fields display vibrant shades of yellow and green.

🏰

Loire Valley

View the wide riverbeds and historic châteaux landscapes near Orléans shortly after departure.

🌲

Limousin Landscapes

Observe the lush, rolling green hills and the western foothills of the Massif Central mountains.

💧

Lot River Meanders

Spot the dramatic loops and turns of the Lot river as the aircraft begins its southern descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harshest direct sunlight. This side offers better views of the morning mist over the French countryside and the deep greens of the Limousin region. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Limoges during mid-flight.
