Loire Valley Châteaux
Stunning views of the 'Valley of the Kings' with its historic estates and river curves shortly after takeoff.
Paris Skyline
On the standard northerly track, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense district are often visible on the southern horizon.
Champagne Vineyards
The geometric patterns of the world-famous vineyards surrounding Reims and Épernay.
Ardennes Forest
Deep green, rolling hills and winding river valleys along the French-Belgian-German border.
Cologne Cathedral
The massive twin spires of the Kölner Dom are frequently visible during the descent into the Düsseldorf area.
The Rhine River
Dramatic views of Europe's busiest waterway as the aircraft aligns for landing at DUS.
The right side is the 'landmark side' for this route. For the best views of the Loire and Paris, opt for an afternoon flight when the sun is in the southwest, illuminating these features. Be alert about 15 minutes before landing to spot the massive open-cast mines of the Rhineland, which look like lunar landscapes from above.

Nantes City Center
Clear views of the Isle of Nantes and the Erdre River immediately following departure.
Lower Normandy Coast
Distant views of the northern French coastline and the English Channel on very clear days.
Wallonia Industrial Belt
The industrial landscapes of Charleroi and the urban sprawl of central Belgium.
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Possible glimpse of the famous racing circuit nestled in the hilly Ardennes region.
Ruhr Area
The dense urban and industrial network of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region during final approach.
Sit on the left to avoid direct sunlight during midday flights heading northeast. This side is preferable for seeing the flat, patterned agricultural landscapes of northern France and the intricate canal systems of the Low Countries. Early morning flights offer soft light over the misty Ardennes hills.
