Gulf of Annaba
An immediate panoramic view of the Port of Annaba and the Seybouse River delta upon departure.
Sardinia & Corsica
Stunning vistas of the Strait of Bonifacio and the jagged, mountainous interior of Corsica.
The Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps are visible far on the eastern horizon.
Rhône-Alpes Region
Views of the lush river valleys and the organized agricultural patterns of eastern France.
Paris Approach
Gliding over the southeastern suburbs of Paris with potential views of the Seine River before landing at Orly.
The right side is the 'island side.' Keep your window shade up approximately 25-40 minutes after takeoff to catch the transition between Sardinia and Corsica. For afternoon flights, be aware of the glare from the sun; however, the views of the Corsican mountains are most dramatic when side-lit in the late morning or early afternoon.

Algerian Coastline
Dramatic views of the turquoise waters and rocky cliffs west of Annaba during the initial climb.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the western Mediterranean as the flight approaches the southern coast of France.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic peaks and rolling green plateaus of south-central France.
Loire Valley
A bird's-eye view of the winding Loire River and the dense forests of the Orléans region.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the Mediterranean sea to the varied topography of central France. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing to capture the clearest photos of the Massif Central's volcanic craters.
