Costa Brava
The 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia with its rocky cliffs and hidden turquoise coves immediately after takeoff.
Marseille Coastline
Views of the sprawling port city and the stunning white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park.
Îles d'Hyères
The 'Golden Isles' of Porquerolles and Port-Cros appearing as emerald gems in the deep blue Mediterranean.
Esterel Massif
Striking contrast of bright red volcanic rock formations against the azure sea near Saint-Raphaël and Cannes.
Promenade des Anglais
The world-famous waterfront of Nice and the turquoise waters of the Baie des Anges on final approach.
The right side is essential for the classic Nice landing experience. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to see the Esterel Massif. Afternoon flights offer the best 'Golden Hour' lighting on the red rocks and the Nice coastline.

The Pyrenees
Distant views of the snow-capped mountain range dividing the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe.
Languedoc Vineyards
Lush agricultural patterns and famous wine-producing regions of Southern France visible during mid-flight.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt marshes and lagoons of the Rhône delta, home to diverse birdlife and white horses.
Maritime Alps
Stunning vistas of the southern Alpine peaks as the aircraft begins its descent into the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
Sit on the left if you prefer mountain vistas over sea views. For morning flights, the lighting on the Alps is particularly dramatic. Keep an eye out for the historic city of Arles as you pass the Rhône river.
