The High Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps, including potential sightings of the Eiger and Jungfrau massifs.
Lake Constance
The expansive southern shoreline shared by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Provence Vineyards
Aerial patterns of the lush vineyards and olive groves typical of the Luberon region.
The Calanques
The dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets of the Mediterranean coast near Marseille.
Marseille Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the Old Port and the Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica during the final approach.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the mountains. During descent, keep your camera ready for the 'Calanques' if the plane approaches from the east over the sea. Winter flights provide the most dramatic contrast with snow-covered peaks.

Allianz Arena
The glowing white 'inflatable' stadium north of Munich, visible shortly after a northbound departure.
Black Forest Edges
Distal views of the dense evergreen canopy of the southern German highlands.
Rhône River
The winding silver ribbon of the Rhône cutting through the French landscape toward the sea.
Mont Ventoux
The iconic, bare limestone peak known as the 'Giant of Provence,' often capped with white rock that looks like snow.
Camargue Wetlands
The unique salt pans and marshes of the Rhône delta as you descend toward the airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers a great perspective of the French countryside and the isolated beauty of Mont Ventoux. Look for the unique pink hues of the salt flats in the Camargue just before landing.
