Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular panoramic view of the French Alps and the majestic Mont Blanc throughout the cruise and descent phases.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

The French Alps

A continuous and breathtaking panorama of the high Alpine range stretching along the eastern horizon.

🗻

Mont Blanc

Europe's highest peak is often clearly visible as a dominant white silhouette against the sky.

🌊

Rhône River Valley

The winding path of the Rhône as it flows through Valence and north toward Lyon.

🏔️

Vercors Massif

The dramatic limestone cliffs and high plateaus of the Vercors regional park.

🚜

Dauphiné Plains

The patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages in the Isère department during descent.

The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you or at a high angle, perfectly illuminating the snow-capped Alps. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best Mont Blanc visibility.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Toulouse Cityscape

Aerial view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River immediately after takeoff from Blagnac.

🌋

Massif Central Peaks

The rugged terrain and ancient volcanic domes of the Auvergne region, including Puy de Sancy.

🏰

Lyon Urban Core

On specific landing patterns from the south, a distant view of the Fourvière Hill and the Presqu'île.

🏞️

Regional Parks

Green expanses of the Parc Naturel Régional du Haut-Languedoc shortly after departure.

Sit on the left if you are interested in the geological formations of the Massif Central. During evening flights, this side provides beautiful sunset views over the volcanic plateaus. If the plane approaches LYS from the north, you may get a glimpse of the city center.
