Stade Pierre-Mauroy
The massive modern stadium of Lille with its unique retractable roof, visible shortly after departure.
Charleroi Industry
An impressive view of the industrial infrastructure and reclaimed coal mining heaps of the 'Black Country'.
Namur Citadel
One of Europe's largest ancient fortresses, situated dramatically above the river confluence.
Sambre and Meuse Meeting
The picturesque point where the Sambre river flows into the Meuse in the center of Namur.
Liège Steelworks
The iconic industrial landscape of Seraing and the heavy industry that defined the Liège region.
The right side is significantly more interesting during the descent. Look for the Meuse river as it guides the plane toward Liège Airport. For photography, late afternoon flights offer beautiful golden hour light reflecting off the river and the stone walls of the Namur Citadel. Because the flight altitude is low, details are very easy to spot.

Since this is a very short flight, usually under 30 minutes, keep your window shade open from the moment of takeoff. The northern view is best for spotting the historical transition between the French and Belgian borders. Morning flights provide the best lighting for this side to avoid glare.
