Monaco & Nice

Breathtaking perspective of the Côte d'Azur, highlighting the densly packed principality and the Baie des Anges.

Corsican Central Massif

The dramatic granite peaks of the interior, including Monte Cinto, as you begin the descent.

Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alpine glaciers. During the descent into Figari, this side provides a stunning view of the Porto-Vecchio coastline. Look out for the 'Strait of Bonifacio' separating Corsica from Sardinia just before landing if the flight path loops south.
