The French Alps from the air...

So, after months and months of planning, I figured an open-jaw flight would let us see wonderful things. Fly into Rome, go to Florence, Venice and Verona. We'd rent a car and drive the Alps and see a little of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Then we would take a flight over the French Alps from Verona - right over Mont Blanc - to Paris. The Alps would be beautiful from the air. It would be a grand ending to a month long trip.
Alas, all the planning in the world will not keep thunderstorms and clouds away. There is always next time. This is the approximate view of Mont Blanc.
