For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you when viewing the French coastline. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, the aircraft often banks right, providing a perfect angle of the city center and the Frioul archipelago. Sit away from the wing for unobstructed views of the rugged Corsican coast right after departure.
