On clear days from the Vosges mountains you can easily see the French Alps (and even part of Austrian Alps if lucky), and especially the Mont Blanc. e.g places like the Ballon D'Alsace, and even all the way up north to Donon or Nidec

BetterDisplay has an option to "disable" the notch i.e push the menubar down, essentially making the screen the same as before there were a notch. Lose a little bit of real estate, but regain sanity. There are some dedicated apps
