BVE → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Brive Souillac Airport (Brive) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this short hop, offering distant views of the Auvergne volcanoes shortly after takeoff and the most iconic views of the Paris skyline during the approach to Orly.

Auvergne Volcanoes
On clear days, the silhouette of the Puy de Dôme and the Chaîne des Puys is visible to the east.
The Loire River
A majestic crossing of France's longest river, usually near the city of Orléans.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive, distinctively shaped forest marking the southern entry into the Île-de-France region.
Paris Skyline
The Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower, and Sacré-Cœur are often visible during the final descent into Orly.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival phase. Depending on the wind direction, planes landing at Orly often fly a pattern that puts the entire city of Paris in full view. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Fontainebleau forest, as the descent happens quickly after that point.

Limousin Greenery
Dense forests and rolling hills of the Corrèze department immediately after departure.
Brenne Natural Park
The 'land of a thousand lakes' provides a unique mosaic of water and greenery to the west.
Châteauroux
Clear views of the Indre department's capital and its surrounding agricultural plains.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers a very peaceful view of the French countryside and 'La France Profonde'. Look out for the numerous small lakes in the Berry region halfway through the flight.
