The iconic chalk cliffs and the busy maritime traffic of the English Channel visible about 20 minutes after departure.
Champagne Region
The distinctive geometric patterns of the world-famous French vineyards near Reims and Epernay.
The Rhine River
A major European artery visible as you cross from French into German airspace near Karlsruhe.
Stuttgart TV Tower
