Camargue Delta
The stunning pink-hued salt pans and lagoons of the Rhone delta visible during the initial climb.
Chaîne des Puys
A spectacular chain of over 80 dormant volcanic cones in the Auvergne region, including the famous Puy de Dôme.
Paris Distant View
On clear days, the massive urban sprawl of the French capital and its landmarks are visible on the horizon.
Cliffs of Dover
The iconic white chalk cliffs of the English coast as the flight enters United Kingdom airspace.
London Cityscape
An incredible view of the Shard, the Thames, and the City of London as the plane descends toward Luton.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights when the sun illuminates the French volcanic landscape. The most critical part of the journey is the final 15 minutes; if the aircraft approaches Luton from the south, you will likely see the entire London skyline. Seasonal tip: In winter, the snow-capped volcanoes of the Massif Central are a rare and beautiful sight.

Montpellier City
Aerial view of the historic 'L'Écusson' district and the modern Antigone neighborhood shortly after departure.
Cévennes National Park
Rugged limestone plateaus and deep valleys marking the southeastern edge of the Massif Central.
Loire Valley
The winding banks of France's longest river, dotted with historic towns and occasional glimpses of châteaux.
Normandy Coastline
The dramatic transition from the French countryside to the English Channel near the Seine estuary.
English Channel Crossing
A view of the busy shipping lanes and the vast maritime horizon between France and England.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. This side provides a great perspective of the French interior, particularly the transition from the Mediterranean climate to the temperate northern plains. Keep an eye out for the meandering Loire River roughly 45 minutes into the flight.
