Spanish Meseta
The vast, arid high plateau of central Spain with its unique red and ochre earth tones.
Central Pyrenees
Direct views of the highest, snow-capped peaks of the mountain range dividing Spain and France.
Massif Central
Distant silhouettes of the ancient volcanic domes (puys) in central France.
Champagne Region
The rolling hills and prestigious vineyards of the Champagne-Ardenne area near the end of the flight.
Ardennes Forest

The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun glare. It provides the most intimate views of the high Pyrenees peaks as the flight path crosses the border. During the descent, look for the historical fortifications and deep valleys that characterize the landscape just south of Luxembourg.
