Provence Countryside
Vast stretches of vineyards and lavender fields immediately after takeoff from Avignon.
Maritime Alps
Distant views of the snow-capped southern Alps peaks rising above the French Riviera.
Côte d'Azur

Gulf of Porto
As the plane approaches Corsica, you see the dramatic UNESCO-listed red cliffs of the Scandola Nature Reserve.
Monte Cinto Massif
Corsica's highest peaks visible in the interior as you begin your descent toward Ajaccio.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the iconic 'Red Rocks' of the Esterel and Scandola. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise water and the Corsican mountain range. If the flight path takes you over the northern 'finger' (Cap Corse), this side provides an unbeatable view of the entire island spine.
