Mendip Hills
Shortly after departure from BRS, witness the dramatic limestone ridges and the deep incision of Cheddar Gorge.
Channel Islands
During the English Channel crossing, Jersey and Guernsey are often visible emerging from the blue waters.
Mont Saint-Michel
Depending on the specific airway, look for the iconic abbey perched on its tidal island along the Normandy coast.
Loire Valley
Fly over the 'Garden of France,' spotting grand estates and vast vineyards between Saumur and Tours.
Vienne River
Follow the winding path of the Vienne as it carves through the lush, green landscape of the Limousin.
Sit behind the wing for the clearest view of the ground. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing excellent lighting for photos of the French coastline and the Loire châteaux. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 25-30 minutes into the flight for the French coast.

Saint-Malo
Views of the historic corsair city and the Emerald Coast of Brittany as you enter French airspace.
