Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Toulon-Hyères Airport (Hyeres)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the French Alps on the horizon and a more scenic descent over the dramatic Prealps of Provence and the Gorges du Verdon.
English Channel Crossing
Clear views of the narrowest part of the Channel and the white cliffs near Dover and Calais.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Paris and the Eiffel Tower are visible as you pass to the east.
The French Alps
A stunning long-distance view of the snow-capped Alpine range, including Mont Blanc, dominating the eastern horizon.
Burgundy Vineyards
The meticulously organized patterns of world-famous vineyards across the Côte d'Or region.
Gorges du Verdon
During the descent into Toulon, look for the turquoise waters and deep limestone canyons of the Verdon.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic entry into Provence. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Alps. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the rugged limestone ridges of the Var department.
Seine River Loops
Follow the dramatic, winding meanders of the Seine river as it snakes through the Normandy and Île-de-France countryside.
Massif Central Peaks
Views of the ancient, extinct volcanic domes of the Auvergne region in the distance to the southwest.
Rhône Valley
The industrial and agricultural corridor of the Rhône river, featuring ancient towns and steep terraced hillsides.
Camargue Wetlands
As the plane turns for its final approach, you may see the salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone delta.
Choose the right side if you prefer seeing the volcanic landscapes of central France. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Mediterranean during the final descent into Hyères.
