The Right Side is essential for the 'Riviera' arrival. During the descent, the plane often banks over the sea near Cannes, offering views of luxury yachts and the coastline. For the best lighting on the colorful buildings of Nice, opt for an afternoon flight when the sun is behind you.

Ardennes Forest
Rolling green hills and dense forests spanning the border between Belgium and Luxembourg.

The distinct parallel limestone ridges that mark the border between France and Switzerland.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is visible in the distance to the East as you cruise over the French Alps.
High Alpine Peaks
Breathtaking views of the Ecrins National Park and the snow-capped summits of the Southern Alps.
Mercantour National Park
