Wood blinds or roman shades are good options. Just mount them high enough so that when they are pulled all the way up, they just cover the top inch or so of the window. And wow - what a view!

That certainly is a great view. To maximize the view while maintaining privacy, I would suggest a top-down/bottom-up shade. The shades I provide are string less up to 6', so they have no support strings hanging within the amazing view that you have!

Side note: Instead of attaching only at the top, and coming down. Our shades are attached on the top and the bottom. When you operate them on your French patio doors, they do not swing and hit the door. They are also only 3/4" in depth, easily passing the handles you will have on those doors.
