The iconic twin spires of this Gothic masterpiece rising prominently from the flat plains of Beauce.
Massif Central Foothills

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the aircraft. It provides the most dramatic views of the French coastline and the intricate geography of the Seine. During the final 15 minutes, look for the deep gorges and stone-built villages characteristic of the Brive-la-Gaillarde area.

Distant views of the Shard and the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf shortly after departure from Stansted.
The Opal Coast
The striking white chalk cliffs and sandy beaches of Northern France near Boulogne-sur-Mer.
Paris Skyline
On clear days, the Eiffel Tower and the Montparnasse Tower are often visible on the eastern horizon.
Loire Valley

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the distant silhouette of Paris and the sprawling suburbs to the east of the flight path. Keep your camera ready about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the best city views.
