Burgundy Vineyards
Geometric patterns of the famous wine estates in eastern France.
French Alps
Distant but clear views of snow-capped peaks, including Mont Blanc on clear days.
City of Lyon
The dense urban landscape where the Rhone and Saone rivers converge.
Rhone River
A beautiful view of the river winding through the deep valleys of the south.
Marseille Old Port
Unrivaled views of the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica and the historic harbor during landing.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight hitting the Alps. During the descent into MRS, the flight path often curves around the city, making this the prime side for seeing the urban coastline. Ensure the window is clear of frost to spot Mont Blanc roughly 30 minutes after takeoff.

Auvergne Volcanoes
The unique conical silhouettes of the Chaîne des Puys dormant volcanoes.
Massif Central
Rugged, green mountainous terrain and deep gorges of the central plateau.
Camargue Wetlands
The vast marshes and pink salt pans of the Rhone delta near the Mediterranean.
Frioul Islands
Rocky limestone islands sitting in the blue waters just off the coast.
Etang de Berre
A massive lagoon and industrial landscape immediately adjacent to the airport.
The right side is best for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Massif Central. Keep an eye out for the Puy de Dôme volcano about midway through the flight. On the final approach, this side provides an excellent view of the wild Camargue wetlands if the plane approaches from the west.
