Beauce Plains
The 'breadbasket of France' features a vast patchwork of golden and green agricultural fields stretching to the horizon.
Château Country
Occasional sightings of historic French estates and manor houses tucked into the rural landscapes of Berry.
Puy Mary
A stunning view of this pyramid-shaped extinct volcano, the most famous peak in the Cantal mountains.
Cère Valley
Dramatic low-altitude views of the deep glacial valleys and stone-roofed villages as the plane approaches Aurillac.
The right side is superior for the approach into Aurillac. As the aircraft descends, look for the sharp ridges of the Massif Central. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain peaks. Seat yourself forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the volcanic topography.

Bird's eye view of the dense urban layout and architectural sprawl of the southern Paris metropolitan area.
The Loire River
A crossing over France's longest river, often seen winding through the historic Loire Valley near Orléans.
Chaîne des Puys
Distant but clear views of the UNESCO-listed tectonic hotspot and its alignment of extinct volcanic craters.

Sit on the left side during morning flights to enjoy soft, front-lit views of the Auvergne volcanoes in the distance. This side is also better for spotting the river systems of the Indre and Cher during the mid-flight cruise.
