Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Firenze. The right side delivers the better overall experience: a strong Paris and Seine valley departure view, then the eastern French countryside, and as the flight tracks southeast the right side picks up the western Alps including Mont Blanc massif in the distance before the descent into Tuscany. The left side has a slight edge only on final approach into Florence.

During takeoff from Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Right side for the best views. CDG typically departs eastward on runways 09L/09R or southeastward on 08R/08L, putting Paris city center and the Seine river valley on the right side. You get a clear view of the urban sprawl of Paris and the Seine's distinctive bends as the aircraft climbs and turns southeast toward the Alps. Notable sights include: Seine river bends through Paris, Marne river valley, Champagne plateau farmland, Brie agricultural plain.

When landing at Peretola (FLR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Florence's Peretola airport has a single runway oriented roughly 04/22, and aircraft typically approach from the north or northwest over the Apennines. On a left seat, you get the Arno river valley, the city of Florence itself, and the Chianti hills to the south as you descend. The right side faces the higher Apennine ridgelines to the north. Notable sights include: Arno river valley, Florence city center and Duomo district, Chianti hills, Apennine foothills.

The flight from Charles De Gaulle (CDG) to Peretola (FLR) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

The flight tracks southeast from Paris across Burgundy and the Rhône-Saône corridor, then crosses the western Alps — the Mont Blanc massif and Gran Paradiso range are visible to the right in clear conditions — before descending across the Po Plain of northern Italy and crossing the Apennine ridge into Tuscany.
