Which side of the plane to sit from Agen-La Garenne Airport (Agen) to Castres-Mazamet Airport (Castres)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its expansive views of the Pyrenees mountain range to the south and a closer look at the dense forests of the Montagne Noire during the descent into Castres.
Pyrenees Panorama
Enjoy a spectacular long-range view of the snow-capped Pyrenees peaks stretching across the southern horizon.
Canal du Midi Corridor
Spot the historic canal lined with plane trees as it traverses the Lauragais plains toward the Mediterranean.
Montagne Noire
View the dark, heavily forested slopes of the Montagne Noire, the southernmost outcrop of the Massif Central.
Toulouse Perimeter
Catch a glimpse of the sprawling Toulouse metropolitan area and the Airbus manufacturing sites to the southwest.
Sidobre Granite Plateau
As you approach Castres, look for the unique rock formations and massive boulders scattered throughout the Sidobre forest.
The right side is the clear winner for landscape enthusiasts. For the best views of the Pyrenees, choose a flight during the early morning when the air is clearest. During the descent into DCM, watch the landscape change abruptly from flat agricultural plains to the rugged, dark green forests of the Montagne Noire.
Montauban
View the 'Pink City' of Montauban with its distinct brick architecture and the historic Pont Vieux crossing the Tarn.
Gaillac Vineyards
Fly over one of the oldest wine-growing regions in France, characterized by rolling hills and neatly aligned vine rows.
Tarn River Meanders
Observe the winding curves of the Tarn river as it carves through the limestone plateaus of the region.
Albi Silhouette
On clear days, the massive brick-built Sainte-Cécile Cathedral of Albi is visible in the distance to the northeast.
Sit on the left if you prefer viewing the agricultural patterns of the Quercy region. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the brick buildings of Montauban without harsh shadows. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the Garonne valley to the hillier terrain of the Tarn.
