French Alps
Breathtaking distant views of the snow-capped peaks, including Mont Blanc on clear days.
Mont Ventoux
The iconic 'Giant of Provence' stands out as a white limestone peak to the northeast.
Lyon Metropolitan Area
The confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers cutting through France's third-largest city.
Jura Mountains
The curved limestone ridges along the French-Swiss border visible to the far east.
Vosges Mountains
Dark, forested rounded peaks (ballons) that signal the final approach into the Metz-Nancy area.
The right side is superior for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Alpine chain. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for Mont Ventoux and again mid-flight for the Lyon skyline. On the final approach into ETZ, the Vosges mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the south-east.
