Pyrenees Peaks
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped mountain range to the south during the initial climb out of Toulouse.
Dordogne Valley
Aerial views of the scenic river valleys and historic medieval towns that define the Perigord region.
Aquitaine Horizon
Expansive views towards the west reaching the edge of the famous Bordeaux wine regions on clear days.
Paris Landmark View
The best opportunity to spot the Eiffel Tower and the skyscrapers of La Défense as the aircraft prepares for its final descent.
Versailles Estate
If the flight takes a western approach, the massive gardens and Palace of Versailles are often visible from this side.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic horizon. During the 'Arrival STAR' into CDG, the aircraft often banks in a way that puts the center of Paris right in the window frame. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.

Auvergne Volcanoes
Excellent views of the Chaîne des Puys, including the iconic Puy de Dôme, visible to the east during mid-cruise.
Limousin Countryside
A beautiful patchwork of forests and lakes typical of the rural heart of France.
Loire River
Cross the longest river in France, offering views of the historic sandbanks and riverside towns like Orléans.
Stade de France
The national stadium in Saint-Denis is a prominent landmark visible during the final minutes of the flight.
The right side is the 'cool side' for morning flights, avoiding the direct southern sun. It offers the best perspective of the Massif Central's unique volcanic topography. Look for Disneyland Paris to the far east if the plane enters a northern holding pattern.
