Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Quimper-Cornouaille Airport (Quimper)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the transition from the Parisian basin into the heart of Brittany, including glimpses of the historic Loire Valley fringes and the winding rivers of the Morbihan region.
Chartres Cathedral
Keep an eye out for the distinct asymmetrical spires of this UNESCO World Heritage site rising above the Beauce plains.
Le Mans & Circuit de la Sarthe
View the famous 24-hour race track and the historic city center of Le Mans as you track westward.
Golfe du Morbihan
On clear days, the shimmering waters and numerous islands of the southern Brittany coast are visible on the horizon.
Pays de la Loire Farmlands
A beautiful patchwork of bocage (hedgerows) and fields that define the agricultural heart of western France.
Sit on the left for the best morning light and to avoid the direct glare of the sun during afternoon flights. During descent, look for the Odet River snaking toward the Atlantic. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular golden hour lighting over the Breton countryside.
Palace of Versailles
During departures to the west, the immense gardens and geometric layouts of Versailles may be visible shortly after takeoff.
Rennes Cityscape
The capital of Brittany is clearly visible with its mix of modern architecture and historic center.
Brocéliande Forest
Fly over the legendary Paimpont forest, the mythical home of Merlin and Arthurian legends.
Monts d'Arrée
The ancient, craggy ridges of the Armorican Massif provide a dramatic backdrop as the plane nears Quimper.
The right side is ideal for spotting the northern Breton coastline in the far distance. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, you might catch a glimpse of the Mont Saint-Michel bay. Use a window seat to capture the deep greens of the Armorique Regional Natural Park during the final descent.
