PGX → EGC
Which side of the plane to sit from Périgueux-Bassillac Airport (Perigueux) to Bergerac-Roumanière Airport (Bergerac)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the historic skyline of Périgueux immediately after takeoff and the rolling vineyards of Pécharmant upon arrival in Bergerac.
Saint-Front Cathedral
The massive, five-domed Byzantine-style cathedral that dominates the Périgueux skyline.
Isle River Meanders
Scenic loops of the Isle River as it flows through the historic center of the city.
Pécharmant Vineyards
The sloping vineyards of the prestigious red wine appellation just north of Bergerac.
Dordogne River
A crossing of the wide, majestic Dordogne River shortly before touchdown.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views. Immediately after takeoff from PGX, watch for the domes of Saint-Front Cathedral. On the approach to EGC, look for the geometric patterns of the vineyards. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side.
Vergt Valley
Aerial views of the fertile valleys known globally for high-quality strawberry production.
Forêt de Barade
A dense expanse of ancient oak and chestnut forests, central to local folklore.
Château de Marzac
Distant views of medieval fortifications nestled within the greenery of the limestone hills.
The left side is best for viewing the rural heart of the Périgord Central. The early morning light provides the best contrast for the rolling agricultural landscape. Keep an eye out for the small villages and stone farmhouses typical of the region.
