Swabian Jura
The dramatic limestone escarpments and rolling hills south of Stuttgart shortly after takeoff.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the southern Schwarzwald region stretching toward Switzerland.
The Rhine River
The sparkling natural border crossing between Germany and France near the city of Strasbourg.
Vosges Mountains
The rounded granite peaks known as 'ballons' that dominate the landscape of eastern France.
Champagne Vineyards
The meticulously manicured geometric patterns of the famous vineyards surrounding Épernay.
For the best experience, book a window seat on the left side during afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare while enjoying the golden hour over the French countryside. This side also offers the best chance to spot the Eiffel Tower if the aircraft performs a southern loop into CDG (runway 26L or 27R).

The right side is ideal for morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side, providing clear, shadow-rich views of the German industrial heartland. Keep an eye out for the historical landmarks of the Lorraine region, which appear about midway through the short flight.
