London Skyline
On a clear day, see the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf and the Shard as the plane climbs and turns south.
White Cliffs of Dover
The world-famous chalk cliffs and the busy Port of Dover visible as you leave the English coast.
Loire Valley
Spot the winding Loire River and the many historic chateaux that dot the 'Garden of France'.
Limousin Landscape
The lush green forests and chestnut groves of central France as the aircraft descends towards LIG.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the London cityscape. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Loire and Vienne rivers. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the English coastline.

Thames Estuary
View the wide expanse where the River Thames meets the North Sea, dotted with cargo ships and wind farms.
Côte d'Opale
The sandy beaches and rugged dunes of the French coastline near Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer.
Picardy Plains
An endless patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages characteristic of Northern France.
Paris Peripheral
Glimpses of the eastern outskirts of Paris and the sprawling urban landscape of the Île-de-France region.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harshest direct sunlight. It provides a great perspective of the flight crossing the narrowest part of the English Channel. During the final approach into Limoges, you may see the rolling hills of the Millevaches Regional Natural Park to the east.
