Amazon Fringe
Get a final look at the dense tropical canopy and the sprawling Maroni river system surrounding the airport.
Atlantic Sunrise
As an overnight flight heading northeast, the right side is perfectly positioned to witness the sunrise as you approach Europe.
Landes Forest
Spot the vast, organized pine plantations of southwestern France, the largest maritime pine forest in Europe.
Parisian Horizon
Depending on the wind direction and landing pattern at Orly, the right side often catches a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
The right side is the 'sunrise side' for this route. It is highly recommended to keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid waking other passengers when the sun comes up. On the final approach to ORY, look for the distinct urban grid of Paris to the north.

Guiana Coastline
View the transition from the muddy Amazonian waters to the deep blue Atlantic shortly after takeoff from Cayenne.
Transatlantic Sunset
Since most CAY-ORY flights depart in the late afternoon, the left side offers a stunning sunset over the ocean horizon.
Bay of Biscay
As the plane enters European airspace, look down for cargo ships and tankers navigating towards the French ports.
Loire Valley
During the descent into Orly, the left side frequently views the historical chateaus and winding rivers of central France.
Choose the left side if you prefer a view of the sunset during the first leg of the journey. For the best photography of the French coastline upon arrival, ensure your window is clean of frost which often forms during the high-altitude Atlantic crossing.
