Right-side seats capture the more dramatic geography: the Atlantic coast and Anti-Atlas Mountains on departure, then the flight path carries you over the Iberian Peninsula and Pyrenees (visible on the right side during cruise), before approaching Paris from the west where left-side views improve. However, the takeoff views from the right are more distinctive than the landing views from either side, making right the overall preference.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Iberian Peninsula at cruise altitude (around 35,000 feet). The Pyrenees Mountains form a visible ridge along the Spain-France border (appearing as a thin line on the horizon during cruise). The Bay of Biscay is crossed on the western approach to France. The Loire Valley's agricultural patchwork becomes visible during descent into the Paris basin. The Massif Central (central French highlands) may be visible to the right during the descent phase if weather permits.
