Which side of the plane to sit from Strasbourg Airport (Strasbourg) to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a majestic panoramic experience, featuring distant views of the snow-capped Alps and Jura mountains early in the flight, followed by a dramatic approach toward the Pyrenees mountain range during the descent into Toulouse.
Strasbourg & Rhine Valley
Aerial view of the European Parliament and the river marking the border between France and Germany.
The French Alps
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, are visible to the southeast.
Jura Mountains
Dense forests and limestone ridges stretching along the Swiss border.
Lyon Urban Area
View of the confluence where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet in France's third-largest city.
The Pyrenees Range
A stunning horizon of high peaks becomes visible to the south as the aircraft approaches Occitanie.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps and Jura. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the Pyrenees silhouette during the descent. Avoid seats directly over the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river confluences.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded 'ballons' of the Vosges range immediately after takeoff from Strasbourg.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patchwork of the Côte d'Or wine region near Dijon.
Chaîne des Puys
The unique alignment of dormant volcanic cones in the Massif Central, including the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Lot River Valley
Meandering loops of the Lot river cutting through limestone plateaus.
Airbus Assembly Lines
Large-scale views of the massive aviation hangars on the northern side of Toulouse-Blagnac Airport during final approach.
The right side is exceptional during late afternoon flights for a golden-hour view of the Auvergne volcanoes. If the flight path crosses central France directly, the Puy de Dôme volcano is a landmark you cannot miss mid-route. During landing, watch for the sprawling Airbus factory which is a highlight for aviation enthusiasts.
