Basque Coastline
Immediate views of the rugged Atlantic cliffs and Biarritz's iconic beaches upon takeoff.
Dune du Pilat
The tallest sand dune in Europe, located at the entrance of the Bassin d'Arcachon, visible shortly after departure.
Atlantic Islands
Excellent perspectives of Île d'Oléron and Île de Ré near the city of La Rochelle.
Loire Estuary
Where the Loire River meets the Atlantic Ocean near Saint-Nazaire and Nantes.
Normandy Fringe
Views of the coastal plains and the transition into the greener pastures of Northern France.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for observing the transition from the sandy beaches of the Landes to the rocky islands of the mid-Atlantic coast. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes for the Arcachon basin.

Pyrenees Mountains
Distant views of the snow-capped Pyrenean peaks to the south immediately after takeoff.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Aerial view of the world-famous vineyards surrounding the Garonne and Dordogne rivers.
Loire Valley
The 'Garden of France,' dotted with historic chateaux along the winding Loire River.
Paris Skyline
Depending on the air traffic corridor, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense may be visible in the distance to the east.
Picardy Plains
The patchwork of agricultural fields in Northern France leading toward the Belgian border.
The right side is ideal for catching a glimpse of the Paris metropolitan area during the latter half of the flight. If traveling in the late afternoon, the low sun will illuminate the Loire Valley chateaux beautifully. Check the weather; if the sky is clear, look south early on for the Pyrenees.
