Berlin Cityscape
The German capital, including the iconic TV Tower, is often clearly visible on the northern horizon.
Harz National Park
The Brocken peak and dense forests of northern Germany offer striking views during clear weather.
The Rhine River
A silver thread of water winding through industrial and historic landscapes near the German-Benelux border.
Sacré-Cœur Basilica
The white domes atop Montmartre are frequently visible during the final approach into Charles de Gaulle.
Stade de France
The massive national stadium in Saint-Denis is a primary landmark for flights landing from the north.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the sun. Watch for Berlin approximately 40-50 minutes after takeoff. During landing, the right side usually provides a closer look at the Paris suburbs and the Sacré-Cœur.

Sudetes Mountains
The rugged peaks along the Polish-Czech border are visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Thuringian Forest
Expansive green canopies and rolling hills across central Germany provide a scenic mid-flight backdrop.
Champagne Vineyards
Distinctive geometric patterns of the famous French wine region appearing during the initial descent.
Eiffel Tower
Can be spotted in the distance if the aircraft approaches CDG from the south or performs a loop.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Sudetes mountains early on. On late afternoon flights, be prepared for direct sunlight; use a window shade or polarizer. This side is superior if the arrival pattern swings south of Paris.
