Champagne Vineyards
The meticulously organized rows of grapevines in the Reims and Épernay regions.

Monts du Cantal

Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights as the sun begins to set in the west. Approximately 20 minutes before landing at RDZ, look for the unique circular craters of the Auvergne region.

Sambre Valley
The historic industrial heartland of Wallonia visible shortly after departure from Charleroi.
Paris Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Eiffel Tower and La Défense may be visible to the west.
Loire River
The crossing of France's longest river, often seen near the city of Orléans.
Millevaches Plateau

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a sharp eye out for the Loire Valley châteaux; while distant, the river's silver ribbon is a major navigation landmark. During the descent, this side provides an excellent view of the Aveyron countryside's 'segala' (rye-growing) plateaus.
