Moselle Valley
Lush vineyard-covered slopes and winding river bends visible shortly after departing Luxembourg.
The High Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps, often including the majestic Mont Blanc massif.
French Riviera
The sparkling coastline of Nice, Monaco, and the Alpes-Maritimes descending into the turquoise Mediterranean.
Ligurian Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with white wakes from ferries and luxury yachts.
Corsican Coastline
Dramatic views of the Scandola Nature Reserve and the Calanques de Piana's red cliffs during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare and capture the best lighting on the Alpine peaks. Look out for the distinct transition from the high peaks to the Mediterranean coast about 45-50 minutes into the flight. This side is also superior for spotting the iconic yacht-filled harbors of the Cote d'Azur.

Jura Mountains
Linear limestone ridges and dense forests marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
The western crescent of the lake, including views towards Geneva and the Jet d'Eau if the path allows.
Provence Interior
The rolling hills, lavender fields, and rugged terrain of the Verdon Regional Natural Park region.
Gulf of Ajaccio
Sweeping views of the bay and the city of Ajaccio as the plane makes its final turn toward the runway.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. During the final approach into AJA, this side offers a better view of the city of Ajaccio and the Sanguinaires Islands if the aircraft approaches from the west. Keep an eye out for the Jura mountain range which looks like giant ripples in the earth.
