Liverpool Waterfront
Aerial view of the historic Pier Head and Albert Dock immediately after takeoff from LPL.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the sprawl of Paris and the La Défense district are visible on the horizon.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the French Alps, often including the snow-capped peak of Mont Blanc in the distance.
Lac de Sainte-Croix
The striking turquoise waters of this reservoir at the entrance of the Verdon Gorge.
Baie des Anges
The classic view of Nice's Promenade des Anglais during the final banking turn for landing.
Sit on the left (Seat A) for morning flights to keep the sun behind you while viewing the Alps. This side is superior for the 'Riviera Approach,' where the plane flies parallel to the coast before turning 180 degrees into Nice. Keep your camera ready as you pass the mountains for a chance to see the highest peaks in Europe.

If the flight path takes you over the sea for a southern approach, you'll see the Lerins Islands near Cannes.
