French Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of the snow-capped alpine range stretching toward Italy.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in Europe is often visible on the horizon on clear days.
Lake Geneva
The iconic crescent-shaped lake bordering France and Switzerland.
Jura Mountains
Dense evergreen forests and limestone ridges along the Swiss border.
Upper Rhine Plain
The transition into the flat, fertile valley shared by France and Germany.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on the Alps, book a flight in the early morning or late afternoon. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the most dramatic alpine horizons. In winter, the snow-covered Jura range is particularly striking.

Massif Central
Distant views of the ancient volcanic plateaus and rugged terrain to the west.
Lyon
An aerial perspective of France's third-largest city at the confluence of two rivers.
Burgundy Vineyards
The famous 'Climats' and patchwork fields of the Côte d'Or wine region.
Rhône River
