Tyrrhenian Sea
Deep blue waters dotted with small islets as you depart the northern tip of Sardinia.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps are visible on the far horizon over France.
Paris Basin
Vast agricultural plains and the sprawling suburban outskirts of the French capital.
Thames Estuary
The industrial and maritime landscape where the River Thames meets the North Sea during descent.
Essex Countryside
