Which side of the plane to sit from Turin Airport (Torino) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the most dramatic Alpine scenery, including a direct view of the Mont Blanc massif shortly after takeoff, followed by a descent over the historic landscapes of central France toward Paris.

Gran Paradiso National Park
The rugged peaks and glaciers of the Italian Graian Alps visible immediately after climbing out of Turin.
Mont Blanc Massif
Europe's highest peak dominates the horizon as the flight crosses the border into French airspace.
Lake Annecy
View of the vibrant turquoise waters of 'the cleanest lake in Europe' nestled between mountain ridges.
Burgundy Wine Region
The orderly patchwork of world-famous vineyards and limestone ridges in the Côte d'Or area.
Palace of Fontainebleau
The sprawling historic royal residence and its vast forest grounds visible during the southern approach to Paris.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western faces of the Alps. On the final approach into CDG, the left side often offers the best chance to spot the Eiffel Tower and the Paris skyline if the aircraft follows a southern arrival vector.

Distant views of iconic peaks like the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa visible on the eastern horizon.
Jura Mountains
The unique folded limestone ridges and plateaus that define the border between France and Switzerland.
Champagne Region
Rolling agricultural plains and the historic vineyard landscapes of the Grand Est region.
Charles de Gaulle Environs
Extensive views of the airport infrastructure and the northern Parisian suburbs during the final turn to land.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the setting sun. During winter months, look for the snow-covered Jura Mountains which offer exceptional contrast. If the wind requires a landing from the east, this side provides a great overview of the massive CDG terminal complex.
