Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning combination of the azure Mediterranean coastline and the majestic Pyrenees mountain range in the distance.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Lion

Panoramic views of the sweeping Mediterranean coastline and the turquoise waters of southern France.

🦩

Camargue Delta

The unique salt pans and marshlands where the Rhône river meets the sea, often showing vibrant colors.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees form a dramatic horizon to the south.

🏰

Carcassonne

The iconic medieval walled city is frequently visible during the descent phase into Toulouse.

🛶

Étang de Thau

A massive coastal lagoon famous for its oyster beds and the port town of Sète.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Pyrenees; they are most prominent in winter and spring when covered in snow. For late afternoon flights, this side catches the sunset light over the water. Watch closely for the medieval towers of Carcassonne about 15 minutes before landing.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Montpellier

A great bird's-eye view of one of France's fastest-growing cities and its modern neighborhoods.

⛰️

Cévennes Foothills

The rugged southern edge of the Massif Central mountain range rising to the north.

🍇

Languedoc Vineyards

An endless patchwork of vineyards that define the landscape of the Occitanie region.

🛤️

Canal du Midi

The historic 17th-century canal can be spotted as a thin green ribbon lined with trees.

🏞️

Pic Saint-Loup

A distinctive limestone peak that stands out from the surrounding Montpellier plains.

Choose the right side to avoid direct sun glare during afternoon flights. It is the better side for spotting inland landmarks like the Pic Saint-Loup. Keep an eye out for the rows of plane trees that mark the path of the Canal du Midi as you approach Toulouse.
