Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the winding Loire Valley and its famous châteaux as you approach Nantes, plus better lighting conditions during daylight flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

Bohemian Forest

Scenic views of the Sumava National Park's dense forests and rolling hills shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Nuremberg & Bavaria

Clear views of the historic Nuremberg city center and the agricultural landscapes of Northern Bavaria.

🍷

Burgundy Vineyards

Fly over the famous wine-producing regions of eastern France, characterized by patchwork vineyard patterns.

🏰

Loire Valley Châteaux

Spot iconic historic castles dotting the banks of the Loire river as the flight aligns with the river valley.

💧

Angers & Maine River

Aerial perspective of the city of Angers and the confluence where the Maine meets the Loire.

Choose the left side for morning or afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while enjoying the best angle of the Loire River. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the density of historical estates in the Loire Valley. Visibility is best in late spring when the vineyards and river banks are most vibrant.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Ore Mountains

Views of the Krušné hory range forming the natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

On clear days, see the skyscrapers of Germany's financial hub and the busy Frankfurt Airport below.

🍾

Champagne Region

Aerial views of the rolling hills and chalky soils of the French Champagne department.

🏎️

Le Mans Circuit

Visible to the south of the flight path, look for the distinctive shapes of the famous 24-hour race track.

🏢

Nantes City Center

A great view of the Ile de Nantes and the Cathedral during the final descent into NTE airport.

The right side is excellent for spotting major German urban hubs and the northern French countryside. If the wind requires an approach from the west over the Atlantic, the right side provides a panoramic view of the city of Nantes just before touchdown. During summer sunsets, this side offers dramatic sky colors over the French plains.
