Burgundy Vineyards
Vast stretches of famous wine regions in eastern France visible during the cruise phase.
Lyon and the Rhone
The confluence of the Rhone and Saone rivers and the historic urban sprawl of Lyon.
Camargue Wetlands
Unique pink-hued salt pans and lagoons where the Rhone delta meets the sea.
Costa Brava
The dramatic rocky coastline and hidden coves of northeastern Spain during descent.
Barcelona Port
A bird's-eye view of the massive cruise terminal and the Montjuic fortress on final approach.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the coastline. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the French coast without creating glare. On the descent, look for the distinct white foam of waves hitting the Costa Brava cliffs.

Eifel National Park
Rolling green hills and ancient volcanic crater lakes visible shortly after takeoff from Düsseldorf.
Luxembourg City
The historic fortifications and deep river valleys of the city visible from high altitude.
Massif Central
The dramatic and rugged landscape of ancient extinct volcanoes in central France.
Pyrenees Peaks
The snow-capped border between France and Spain visible on the horizon to the west.
Montserrat
The iconic, jagged multi-peaked mountain range located just north of Barcelona.
Excellent for mountain lovers, especially during the sunset when the Pyrenees are silhouetted against the sky. Watch for the 'serrated' profile of Montserrat about 10-15 minutes before landing. If the airport is using a northern approach, this side offers the best views of the Sagrada Familia.
