Massif Central
Aerial views of the ancient volcanic peaks and plateaus of central-southern France shortly after departure.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhône Delta, often appearing in vibrant shades of pink and white.
Marseille and Calanques
The historic port of Marseille followed by the dramatic white limestone cliffs and hidden inlets of the Calanques National Park.
Cap Corse
The northern 'finger' of Corsica, featuring rugged mountains dropping steeply into the Mediterranean Sea.
Maddalena Archipelago
World-famous turquoise lagoons and granite islands between Corsica and Sardinia, visible during the descent.
Book an 'A' seat for the best window perspective. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is positioned to the south, perfectly illuminating the French coastline and the Sardinian lagoons without glare. Watch closely about 20 minutes before landing for the transition from Corsica to the Maddalena islands.

The Pyrenees
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range are visible on the distant horizon to the south.
Gulf of Lion
A vast expanse of deep blue Mediterranean waters transitioning into the Balearic Sea.
Corsican West Coast
Views of the high granite peaks of central Corsica and the jagged western coastline.
Costa Smeralda
The luxury resorts and hidden coves of Sardinia's Emerald Coast as the plane banks for its final approach.
Tavolara Island
A massive, table-top limestone monolith rising 560 meters out of the sea directly off the coast of Olbia.
Request an 'F' seat. This side is particularly rewarding during sunset flights, as the light hits the western Corsican cliffs and Tavolara Island. Be ready with your camera during the final 5 minutes of the flight when the plane typically turns over the Gulf of Olbia, offering a direct view of Tavolara's sheer cliffs.
