RNS → CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Rennes-Saint-Jacques Airport (Rennes) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior chance of catching the iconic Paris skyline, including the Eiffel Tower and the business district of La Defense, during the descent into Charles de Gaulle.
Vilaine River
Follow the winding path of the river as the aircraft climbs away from Rennes.
Chartres Cathedral
On clear days, the distinct asymmetric spires of this Gothic masterpiece can be spotted to the south.
Paris Skyline
Breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Defense on the western approach.
Sacre-Coeur
The white dome of the Basilica on the hill of Montmartre is often visible during the downwind leg.
CDG Terminals
A great view of the unique circular architecture of Terminal 1 during the final moments of landing.
Sit on the right for the iconic Paris view. For evening flights, the city lights make this side particularly spectacular. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the horizon during the aircraft's banking turns.
Rennes Metropole
Aerial view of the Breton capital and the Roazhon Park stadium shortly after takeoff.
Normandy Bocage
The characteristic patchwork of hedgerows and small fields of the northwestern French countryside.
Vexin Francais
Lush greenery of the regional natural park just before entering the dense Parisian urban area.
Stade de France
Look down on the national stadium located in Saint-Denis during the final approach.
Best for early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep an eye out for the loops of the Seine river as you approach the Ile-de-France region. Depending on the landing direction, you might catch a view of the Chantilly forest to the north.
