The Vosges Mountains
Lush, rounded peaks and dense forests marking the boundary of the Lorraine region shortly after takeoff.
Distant French Alps
On clear days, the high peaks of the Alps, including the faint silhouette of Mont Blanc, line the eastern horizon.
Lyon Urban Area
A clear view of France's third-largest city and the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers.
Mont Ventoux
The 'Giant of Provence' stands out prominently with its bald, white limestone summit appearing like snow even in summer.
Luberon Regional Park
A mosaic of vineyards, lavender fields, and hilltop villages characteristic of the Provencal interior.
For the most scenic experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps to the east. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing to capture Mont Ventoux. In winter, the contrast between the snowy mountains and the Mediterranean landscape is particularly stunning.

The Moselle River
The winding river valley and the industrial landscape of the Grand Est region visible during initial climb.
Burgundy Vineyards
Patches of world-famous vineyards near Dijon and the Côte d'Or visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Massif Central
The rugged western horizon featuring the volcanic plateaus and deep gorges of central France.
The Rhône Corridor
A constant view of the major river artery, including industrial dams and historical river towns like Valence.
Etang de Berre
The vast salt-water lagoon right next to the airport, providing a dramatic backdrop during the final moments of flight.
The right side is best for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Massif Central. As you approach Marseille, look for the 'Chaîne de l'Estaque' limestone hills. If the plane lands from the south, you might even catch a glimpse of the Camargue wetlands to the west.
