Paris Skyline
If departing to the east, look back to spot the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower on the horizon.
Disneyland Paris
The colorful patterns of the theme park and Space Mountain are often visible shortly after takeoff.
Champagne Vineyards
Lush, rolling hills and manicured vineyard rows near Épernay and Châlons-en-Champagne.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded granite peaks of the Ballons des Vosges provide a dramatic landscape before the Rhine.
The Rhine River
A clear view of the winding river that forms the natural border between France and Germany.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Vosges Mountains and the Swabian Jura during the descent into Stuttgart. Watch for the television tower (Fernsehturm) on the final approach.

CDG Complex
Aerial view of the intricate terminal layouts and taxiways of Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Reims Cathedral
The historic coronation site of French kings is visible in the distance as you pass the Champagne region.
Palatinate Forest
Dense, dark green forests stretching across the German border region near Saarbrücken.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. This side is better for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while looking south towards the Alps.
