Fontainebleau Forest
A massive green expanse south of Paris visible shortly after takeoff from Orly.
Mont Blanc & The Alps
Unrivaled views of the highest peak in Europe and the jagged, glacier-filled Alpine range.
Apuan Alps
The white-scarred mountains near Carrara, where Michelangelo sourced his famous marble.
Piazza dei Miracoli
As the plane banks for landing, the Leaning Tower and the Duomo are often visible from this side.
Pisa City Center
A detailed view of the red-roofed Tuscan city as the aircraft enters its final descent.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block your view of the Alps. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the mountains, while late afternoon flights provide a beautiful golden glow over the Tuscan landscape. Watch for the 'white' mountains near the coast—they aren't covered in snow, but are actually the world-famous marble quarries.

Use the Ligurian coastline as your marker for the transition into Italian airspace.
