Bay of Biscay
The deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean provides a dramatic backdrop for the entire second half of the flight.
Dune du Pilat
The tallest sand dune in Europe is clearly visible as a massive golden strip against the pine forests.
Arcachon Bay
Look for the distinctive oyster beds and the bird sanctuary islands within the basin.
Landes Forest
A vast, geometric expanse of maritime pines stretching as far as the eye can see towards the coast.
Biarritz Lighthouse
The white tower marks the Phare de Biarritz, seen just before the wheels touch the tarmac.
Highly recommended for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. The final approach often follows the coastline, making the right side the prime spot for viewing the Basque beaches and the Dune du Pilat.
