The FR24 track shows a descend east of Marseille, wonder if there has been any communication before impact.

French police have tweeted a graphic of the area where recovery efforts are being focused. A no-fly zone has been implemented above the crash site.
Photos published by the Dauphine Libere show there isn't much left for the media to film/photograph anyway... :|

Après le crash ce matin dans les Alpes françaises d'un avion A320 de la compagnie Germanwings qui a fait 150 morts, le ministre de l'Intérieur, Bernard Cazeneuve, a confirmé qu'une boîte noire avait "été retrouvée, quelques heures seulement après le crash".
The French Home Secretary/Ministre of Internal Affairs did not state which "black box" was recovered: the Cockpit Voice Recorder or the Flight Data Recorder?
Especially the FDR will probably contain some very interesting data.

The "black-box" that was found is confirmed to be the CVR, reportedly it is heavily damaged.
