Maddalena Archipelago
Stunning views of the scattered islands and crystal-clear lagoons of northern Sardinia immediately after takeoff.
Corsican Coastline
A dramatic perspective of the granite cliffs and mountainous interior of western Corsica, including the Gulf of Ajaccio.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshlands of the Rhone delta, known for pink flamingos and wild white horses.
Saint-Émilion Vineyards
As you approach Bordeaux, look for the UNESCO-listed wine landscapes and historic chateaus of the Libournais region.
Bordeaux Cityscape
Depending on the landing pattern, a breathtaking view of the Garonne River and the historic 'Port of the Moon' city center.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. Sit in the front of the wing for the best views of the Sardinian islands right after departure. Afternoon flights benefit from the sun being on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Corsican mountains and the French mainland.

Mediterranean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea during the transit from Sardinia to mainland France.
Pyrenees Peaks
On clear days, the distant, snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range are visible to the south.
Carcassonne
Potential views of the famous medieval fortified city as the flight crosses into the Occitanie region.
Entre-deux-Mers Vineyards
Lush landscapes of the rolling hills and vineyards between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers during descent.
Choose this side if you prefer seeing the distant Pyrenees. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the direct sun, so keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to stay cool. The distant view of the Languedoc coastline is a highlight as you cross the French border.
