BOD

When landing at Merignac (BOD), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 23 means the approach comes in from the northeast, and Bordeaux's city center with the Garonne River sits just south of that flight path — putting it on the left side of the cabin. Right-side passengers mostly see flat pine forest and farmland with little to distinguish it. Notable sights include: Garonne River bend through Bordeaux, city rooftops and Pont de Pierre bridge area, Cité du Vin building near the riverbank, vineyard patches of the Graves/Pessac-Léognan district.
