Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is preferred for its stunning aerial perspective of the French coastline, offering glimpses of the English Channel and the dramatic geological formations of the Pink Granite Coast during the descent into Lannion.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🗼

Paris Skyline

Depending on the takeoff direction, enjoy views of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine river winding through the capital.

🏰

Mont Saint-Michel

On clear days, the iconic abbey and its bay are visible to the north as the plane crosses into Brittany.

🌊

Emerald Coast

Marvel at the turquoise waters and rugged cliffs near Saint-Malo and Dinard.

💎

Côte de Granit Rose

The highlight of the trip, featuring unique pink-hued rock formations and hidden coves during the final approach.

The right side is essential for coastal photography. As the plane descends into Lannion, the coastline becomes the main attraction. Evening flights are particularly beautiful here as the setting sun accentuates the pink tones of the granite rocks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏰

Versailles & Southwest Paris

Immediately after takeoff, see the sprawling gardens of the Palace of Versailles and the southwestern Parisian suburbs.

⛪

Chartres Cathedral

Spot the distinct asymmetrical spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site rising above the Beauce plains.

🏎️

Le Mans Circuit

The famous 24-hour racing track is often visible as the flight path passes south of the city.

🌳

Armorique Natural Park

View the lush, rolling hills and ancient woodlands of central Brittany as you approach the peninsula.

Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the inland French countryside. It offers a more consistent view of the historical towns and agricultural heartland of the Sarthe and Ille-et-Vilaine regions.
