Balearic Islands
Excellent high-altitude views of Ibiza and Mallorca shimmering in the Mediterranean sun.
Gulf of Lion
The sweeping curve of the French Mediterranean coast, including the Camargue wetlands and Marseille's harbor.
The French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped giants of the Alps, including Mont Blanc, appear on the eastern horizon.
Rhône River
The silver ribbon of the Rhône winding through the valley as the plane aligns for its final approach to LYS.
Lyon Urban Area
A panoramic view of the suburbs and the dense urban sprawl of France's third-largest city.
This side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the Balearic Islands, and watch the horizon for the Alps as you cross the French coast.

Algerian Littoral
Dramatic views of the rugged Tlemcen coastline and the Alboran Sea immediately after takeoff.
Catalan Coast
A distant view of the Spanish mainland, often catching the outskirts of Barcelona and the Costa Brava.
Eastern Pyrenees
The rugged transition where the Pyrenees mountains meet the Mediterranean sea at the French-Spanish border.

Sit behind the wing for the best photography of the Algerian coast. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing excellent saturation for the Mediterranean blues and the Pyrenees peaks.
