Loire Valley
Fly over the 'Garden of France' to see the silver Loire River and various historic châteaux.
Paris Horizon

French Interior
The beautiful patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages across central France.
Alabaster Coast
The dramatic white chalk cliffs of Dieppe as the plane departs the French mainland.
London Skyline
During the final approach or holding patterns, the Shard and London’s landmarks often appear to the north.
Morning flights offer the best illumination of the French countryside. Keep your eyes peeled for the Seine river winding its way toward Paris. If the plane enters a holding pattern for Gatwick, the right side usually gets the best view of the London skyline.
