Which side of the plane to sit from Rodez-Marcillac Airport (Rodez) to Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi)?

Search flights from RDZ to CRL
Chaîne des Puys
An iconic chain of extinct volcanoes, including the perfectly shaped Puy de Dôme crater.
Morvan Massif
The granite peaks and dense woodlands of Burgundy's regional natural park.
Champagne Vineyards
The meticulously organized rows of grapevines around Reims and the Marne valley.
Ardennes Foothills
Rolling forested hills and deep valleys marking the transition into Belgium.
Charleroi Industrial Heritage
A view of the 'Pays Noir' with its historic slag heaps and industrial canals on final approach.
The highlight occurs roughly 15-20 minutes after takeoff; keep your camera ready for the Auvergne volcanoes. For the best lighting on the vineyards, mid-day flights provide the clearest colors. On descent into CRL, look for the 'Terrils' (mining spoil tips) which are now green hills surrounding the city.

Lot River Meanders
Intricate loops of the Lot river cutting through the limestone plateaus near Rodez.
Berry Region Chateaux
The rural heart of France dotted with historic estates and agricultural patches.
Paris Distant Skyline
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the far north-east.
Picardy Plains
Large-scale grain fields and open landscapes characterizing northern France.
Sit on the left if you prefer soft morning light on the landscape during early flights. This side is better for spotting the distant glow of Paris when bypassing the city to the west. Watch for the 'Hauts-de-France' wind farms as you approach the Belgian border.
