Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the Atlantic horizon as the plane follows the western edge of France.
Dune du Pilat
On clear coastal routes, the tallest sand dune in Europe is visible near the Arcachon Basin.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Aerial patterns of the prestigious Médoc and Graves wine regions as you pass the Gironde Estuary.
Charente Islands
Distinctive shapes of Île d'Oléron and Île de Ré connected to the mainland by long bridges.
La Rochelle
The historic port city and its surrounding salt marshes are clearly visible during the mid-flight segment.
The left side is exceptional for late afternoon or evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff from Toulouse to spot the coastline. In winter, the low sun angle highlights the relief of the coastal dunes and marshes beautifully.

Toulouse Cityscape
Excellent views of the 'Pink City' and the massive Airbus assembly plants immediately after takeoff.
Dordogne River
The winding curves of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers carving through the lush southwest countryside.
Loire Valley
As you head north, look for the 'Garden of France' and glimpses of historic chateaux near Angers.
Cognac Region
The inland agricultural mosaic of the Charente region, famous for its world-class brandy production.
Brittany Bocage
The traditional patchwork of small fields and hedgerows characteristic of the approach into Rennes.
Sit on the right for the best views of Toulouse's urban layout during departure. During morning flights, this side receives direct sunlight, which is perfect for illuminating the green valleys of the Loire and Vilaine rivers. Watch for the change in landscape from the red bricks of the south to the stone and slate of the north.
