Search flights from FSC to NTE
Monte Cinto
Corsica's highest peak, often still capped with snow in late spring, visible shortly after takeoff.
Southern Alps
On clear days, the distant jagged silhouettes of the French Alps are visible across the Mediterranean.
Chaîne des Puys
A stunning tectonic hotspot featuring a chain of over 80 dormant volcanoes near Clermont-Ferrand.
Loire Valley
As you descend toward Nantes, look for the 'Garden of France' with its winding river and scattered chateaux.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the mountains. For the best views of the Auvergne volcanoes, ensure you are looking out roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight. During the approach to Nantes, this side often catches the best views of the city center if landing from the east.

Scandola Nature Reserve
If the flight path tracks slightly west, you may spot the red granite cliffs and volcanic headlands of this UNESCO site.
Gulf of Lion
The transition from the deep blue Mediterranean to the French mainland coastline.
The Camargue
Vast wetlands, salt pans, and lagoons near the Rhone delta known for pink flamingos.
Cantal Mountains
The remnant of Europe's largest stratovolcano, offering rugged green landscapes in the Massif Central.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct white salt flats of the Camargue region as you cross the French coastline.
