Which side of the plane to sit from Pau Pyrénées Airport (Pau) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a nearly continuous panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range to the south, the medieval fortress of Carcassonne, and the stunning coastline of the Mediterranean Sea as you approach Marseille.
The Pyrenees
Spectacular, high-altitude views of the snow-capped border between France and Spain.
Carcassonne
The world-famous medieval citadel with its double walls and pointed turrets is often visible from above.
Gulf of Lion
The deep blue waters of the Mediterranean meeting the white sandy beaches of Narbonne and Agde.
The Camargue
The vast wetlands of the Rhône delta, known for salt pans and unique biodiversity, visible on descent.
Pic du Midi
The famous astronomical observatory perched atop a high peak near the start of the journey.
The right side is significantly more scenic. For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Pyrenees from the east. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the mountains and midway for the fortress of Carcassonne.
Toulouse Skyline
A clear view of the 'Pink City' and the sprawling Airbus manufacturing facilities near Blagnac.
Canal du Midi
Look for the winding, tree-lined historic waterway connecting the Garonne to the Mediterranean.
Massif Central
Distant views of the Montagne Noire and the southern fringes of France's central highlands.
Languedoc Vineyards
Vast geometric patterns of some of the world's most productive wine regions.
Sit on the left if you want to see the urban layout of Toulouse and the industrial heart of French aviation. Best lighting for this side is during late afternoon flights to avoid the southern sun glare.
