Which side of the plane to sit from Sfax Thyna International Airport (Sfax) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?

Kerkennah Islands
A unique archipelago off the coast of Sfax, known for its traditional fishing methods visible from low altitudes.
Corsican Massifs
The dramatic, mountainous spine of 'L'Île de Beauté' with peaks that remain snow-capped well into spring.
The French Alps
Panoramic views of the Western Alps, including potential glimpses of Mont Blanc on clear days during the transition to mainland France.
Grand Est Countryside
The rolling hills and structured vineyard blocks of the Champagne region during the final descent phase.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic diversity. For the best photography of the Alps, book a window seat away from the wing. Afternoon flights provide warm, golden lighting on the mountain peaks, making for incredible photos of the Corsican and Alpine terrain.

Gulf of Gabes
Aerial views of the shallow, turquoise Mediterranean waters and the Tunisian coastline immediately after departure.
Sardinian Coast
The western shoreline of Sardinia featuring rocky cliffs and hidden Mediterranean coves.
Rhône Valley
The winding Rhône river and the urban density of Lyon, France's gastronomic capital, visible as you head north.
Paris Skyline
On specific approach patterns into CDG, the Left Side often catches the Eiffel Tower and La Défense business district.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also preferable if the aircraft follows a westerly arrival route into Paris, offering better views of the city's historic center and major landmarks during the descent.
