MRS → BIQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille) to Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport (Biarritz-bayonne)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning, continuous panorama of the Pyrenees mountain range to the south, contrasted with the initial coastal views of the Mediterranean.
Camargue Wetlands
Aerial view of the Rhone delta's salt marshes and lagoons shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Lion
Sweeping views of the Mediterranean coastline and the deep blue waters of the gulf.
The Pyrenees
The dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the mountain range bordering Spain visible for most of the cruise.
Cathar Country
Rugged hills and ancient fortress sites scattered throughout the Aude region.
Basque Country Foothills
Lush, rolling green landscapes as the plane nears the Atlantic coast.
Sit in a window seat behind the wing to capture the full scale of the Pyrenees. Morning flights are ideal as the southern sun illuminates the northern face of the mountain peaks. Keep an eye out for the distinct silhouette of the Pic du Midi.
Etang de Berre
One of the largest lagoons in France, visible immediately after departing Marseille.
Montpellier Skyline
The urban sprawl and historic center of the Herault region's capital city.
Toulouse Area
A view of the 'Pink City' and the Garonne river winding through the plains of Occitanie.
Gascony Vineyards
A beautiful patchwork of agricultural land and vineyards typical of Southwestern France.
Bay of Biscay
The vast Atlantic Ocean opening up as the flight makes its final approach into Biarritz.
The right side is better for spotting major inland cities like Montpellier and Toulouse. During the final approach into BIQ, if the flight path comes in from the north, you will see the long sandy beaches of the Landes forest stretching toward the horizon.
