Paris Skyline
Immediately after takeoff from CDG, catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and the city's dense urban sprawl to the south.
The Vosges
Fly over the rounded, forested peaks of the Vosges mountain range in the Grand Est region of France.
The Rhine River
Witness the natural border between France and Germany as the flight crosses the iconic Rhine near Strasbourg.
Black Forest
Enjoy an aerial perspective of the 'Schwarzwald', characterized by its deep evergreen canopy and steep valleys.
Alpine Silhouette
Look toward the southern horizon to see the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, visible throughout the second half of the flight.
Choose the right side for the most dramatic geographic features. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, perfectly illuminating the Black Forest and the Alpine chain. Aim for a seat ahead of or well behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Rhine crossing.

View the geometric patterns of the prestigious vineyards near Reims and the rolling hills of eastern France.
Saar Basin
Observe the industrial heartland and urban clusters of the Saarland region near the German border.
Ulm Minster
On clear days, spot the world's tallest church spire rising above the city of Ulm near the Danube River.
Bavarian Farmland
The final approach offers views of the neat, patchwork agricultural landscapes typical of Upper Bavaria.
The left side is generally better for viewing the historic cities of the Rhineland-Palatinate and Northern Baden-Württemberg. For the best lighting during afternoon flights, this side will be shaded, reducing glare on your windows for photography.
