Barcelona Coastline
Spectacular views of the Catalan capital and its famous urban grid as you cross into mainland Spain.
Central Pyrenees
The highest and most dramatic snow-capped peaks of the border range, including Aneto.
Bordeaux Vineyards
The intricate patterns of the world-famous wine estates in the Médoc and Graves regions.
Toulouse Region
The 'Pink City' and the massive Airbus assembly facilities can often be spotted to the east.
Loire River
The final descent often follows the meandering path of the Loire as it approaches the Atlantic.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides the best perspective for the Pyrenees' highest summits. Keep your camera ready about 20-25 minutes after takeoff for the Spanish coast, and look for the Loire River 10 minutes before landing in Nantes. If the wind is from the west, the plane will circle over the city, offering a great view of the Château des ducs de Bretagne.

Leaving Mallorca
Aerial view of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the rugged northern coastline of the island.
Western Pyrenees
A view of the lower, greener slopes of the Pyrenean range near the Basque border.
Bay of Biscay
As the plane tracks north, the vast Atlantic horizon becomes visible along the French coast.
Dune du Pilat
On clear days with a western approach, the tallest sand dune in Europe is visible near Arcachon.
Landes Forest
The massive, geometric patterns of the largest maritime pine forest in Europe.
Sit on the left for sunset views on evening flights as the sun dips over the Atlantic. This side is also better for spotting the French silver coast (Côte d'Argent) if the flight path stays closer to the shoreline. Avoid the wing area (rows 10-20 on most A320s) to ensure the Landes forest and dunes aren't blocked.
