Paris Basin Edge
The western outskirts of the French capital's region, showing the structured layout of the northern plains.
Massif Central Volcanoes
The ancient dormant volcanic domes (Chaîne des Puys) of central France offer a prehistoric landscape.
The High Pyrenees
The spectacular natural border between France and Spain, featuring the range's highest, most rugged peaks.
Ebro River Valley
The fertile, winding green ribbon of the Ebro River contrasting against the arid Aragon plains.
Sierra Nevada Range
Magnificent views of Mulhacén, the highest peak in mainland Spain, often covered in snow until early summer.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain lovers. Keep your camera ready roughly 50-60 minutes into the flight for the Pyrenees crossing. During evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Spanish plateau. As you descend into Almeria, look for the Tabernas Desert, Europe's only true desert.

The dramatic transition where the French southern coast meets the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.

The 'Sea of Plastic'
