Moselle Valley
Spectacular views of steep-sloped vineyards and the winding Moselle River shortly after departure from Hahn.
Vosges Mountains
Dense forests and rounded peaks of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Natural Park as you cross into eastern France.
Lyon & Rhone River
A grand overview of the confluence of the Saone and Rhone rivers near France's historic gastronomic capital.
Camargue Delta
A patchwork of salt pans, lagoons, and marshes as the aircraft descends towards the Mediterranean coastline.
For the best lighting, choose the left side on late afternoon flights to catch the golden glow over the Rhone Valley. On approach to Montpellier, look out for the pink hue of the salt marshes near Aigues-Mortes. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Vosges peaks.

Hunsrück Heights
Lush green landscapes of the Hunsrück mountain range immediately surrounding the departure airport.
Massif Central
Distanced but impressive views of the extinct volcanic chain of the Auvergne, including the iconic Puy de Dôme.
Cévennes National Park
Rugged limestone plateaus and deep gorges marking the transition from the high interior to the Mediterranean basin.
Montpellier Cityscape
A clear view of the Place de la Comédie and the surrounding urban sprawl just before touchdown at MPL.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Pic Saint-Loup, a distinctive limestone peak that serves as a landmark for the Montpellier region. Seasonal snow on the Massif Central in winter makes this side particularly photogenic.
