Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic journey along the Mediterranean coast, passing over the unique landscapes of the Camargue and the iconic red cliffs of the Esterel before the world-famous approach into Nice.
Camargue Wetlands
The sprawling Rhône delta with its unique salt pans, lagoons, and wild marshes visible from high altitude.
Marseille & Frioul Islands
A stunning perspective of France's oldest city, the Old Port, and the offshore limestone islands.
Calanques National Park
The breathtaking white limestone cliffs and turquoise 'fjords' stretching between Marseille and Cassis.
Esterel Massif
Striking volcanic red rock formations that plunge directly into the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
Cannes & Lérins Islands
Aerial views of the Palais des Festivals, the luxury yachts in the bay, and the historic monastery islands.
Promenade des Anglais
On the final approach, a low-altitude view of Nice's famous waterfront, the Negresco Hotel, and the Baie des Anges.
This is the premier side for this route. Request a window seat on the right for the iconic 'Saleya' visual approach into NCE, which often involves a sweeping turn over the sea. Late afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun sets behind the aircraft, glowing off the red rocks of the Esterel.
Toulouse Cityscape
A clear view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne River immediately after takeoff from Blagnac.
Montagne Noire
The southern edge of the Massif Central providing a rugged contrast to the plains of the Languedoc.
Provence Countryside
Vast stretches of vineyards, olive groves, and the distinct silhouette of Mont Ventoux in the distance.
Southern Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Mercantour peaks as the aircraft begins its descent into the Riviera.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Alpine foothills. This side is particularly beautiful in the morning when the rising sun illuminates the limestone ridges of Provence and the distant mountain peaks.
