Monte Cinto
The rugged, snow-dusted peaks of northern Corsica's highest mountain range as you head out over the sea.
Cap Corse

French Alps
On a clear day, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps are visible to the northeast.
Rhône Valley
The wide river valley and patchwork of vineyards as the flight crosses towards central France.
Limousin Countryside
