Surprised no one has mentioned the lovely(?)city of Nice. The last time I flew the circling approach onto 22, we had gusty strong turbulent winds off the mountains ( Seem to remember something about that from met lessons )whilst trying to avoid overflying the city and missing the hills just a short hop from the threshold. To add to the fun,they like a higher than normal approach path and give you no approach lighting.
Take off on 22 is also good fun. 90 degree turn at 400, plus stopping at 1500, so as not to hit the arrival traffic only 1000' above.
