Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of Venice's historic center upon departure, followed by a direct perspective of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, and a higher probability of seeing the Paris skyline during the descent into CDG.

Venice Historic Center
Aerial view of St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal, and the unique fish-shaped layout of the city immediately after takeoff.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps and Western Europe, often visible as a massive snow-capped massif during the trans-alpine segment.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac Léman on the border between Switzerland and France.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the famous Côte d'Or wine region as the plane enters French heartland.
Paris Cityscape
On specific landing patterns (westward approach), the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur are visible in the distance.
Sit on the left for the iconic 'Venice from above' photo. Best for morning flights as the sun will be behind or above the plane, perfectly illuminating the Alps and the French countryside. If the wind is from the west at CDG, your chances of seeing the Eiffel Tower on the left are high during the final turn.

Adriatic Coastline
Views of the Lido di Venezia and the northern sandy beaches of the Cavallino-Treporti peninsula.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of the Italian Alps to the north shortly after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
A sweeping view of the high Swiss peaks, including the Jungfrau region, depending on the specific flight corridor.
Lake Constance
The massive body of water where Germany, Austria, and Switzerland meet, visible in the distance to the north.
Champagne Region
The rolling plains and vineyards of the Reims and Épernay area shortly before the descent into Paris.
Choose the right side if you prefer the dramatic limestone scenery of the Dolomites over the high glaciers. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun reflecting off the clouds or snow. Keep an eye out for the complex sprawl of CDG airport terminals just before touchdown.
