Normandy Coast
The French shoreline and historic D-Day beaches after crossing the Channel.

Book a left-side seat for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Pyrenees, as the flight path usually offers a direct view of the highest peaks. On the arrival into Palma, the left side often looks out over the northern capes like Formentor before turning into the bay.
