Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a breathtaking sequence from the jagged Montserrat peaks to the snow-capped Pyrenees and the dramatic Atlantic coastline of France.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Montserrat Mountain

The serrated peaks of the Montserrat massif are visible shortly after departure from Barcelona.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Spectacular views of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees range as you cross the Spanish-French border.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

As the plane heads north, the vast blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean appears to the west.

🏖️

Dune du Pilat

The tallest sand dune in Europe is often visible along the Silver Coast near Arcachon.

🚢

Nantes Estuary

The mouth of the Loire River and the industrial shipyards of Saint-Nazaire come into view.

Book a window seat in the front third of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction during the Pyrenees crossing. Morning flights are ideal for the best lighting on the Atlantic coast, while afternoon flights may experience glare from the west.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Barcelona Cityscape

A stunning view of the Eixample grid and the Sagrada Família if the flight departs towards the north.

🌄

Andorra & Eastern Pyrenees

Aerial views of the high valleys and rugged terrain of the eastern portion of the mountain range.

🏘️

Toulouse

The 'Pink City' and its distinctive red-brick architecture can be seen as you fly over southern France.

🏰

Loire Valley

The patchwork of the French countryside is dotted with historic châteaux and the winding Loire River.

🏡

Rennes Suburbs

The final descent offers views of the lush, green landscapes and stone villages of Brittany.

The right side is perfect for catching the sunrise over the Mediterranean if taking an early flight. On the approach to Rennes, watch for the Vilaine River snaking through the Breton countryside.
