Promenade des Anglais
A direct view of Nice's famous waterfront and the historic Negresco Hotel just moments before touchdown.
Mercantour National Park
The dramatic Southern Alps rising sharply behind the city of Nice in the distance.
The right side is excellent for seeing the city of Nice itself during the final seconds of the flight. If you are flying in the morning, the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the buildings in 'Vieux Nice' (Old Town). Watch for the snow-capped Alpine peaks in the winter months.
