LIG → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Limoges Airport (Limoges) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the vast Sologne forests and a more direct line of sight to the Paris skyline, including the Eiffel Tower, during the standard arrival patterns into Orly.

Sologne Lakes
A mosaic of thousands of small ponds and dense marshy forests, a prime area for French biodiversity.
The Loire River
Crossing the widest river in France near Orléans, where the water carves sandbanks through the valley.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive expanse of ancient royal hunting grounds and sandstone rock formations visible just before the final approach.
Paris Skyline
Exceptional views of the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower, and the Sacré-Cœur as the plane banks for its final descent into Orly.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the glare of the eastern sun. As the plane approaches the 'Poinville' waypoint, watch for the bend in the Loire river. During the final descent (ILS approach for runway 06 or 25), this side typically faces the center of Paris, offering the most recognizable landmarks even from a distance.

Limousin Greenery
Lush rolling hills and the characteristic hedgerows (bocage) of the Haute-Vienne region immediately after takeoff.
Châteaux of the West
Distant views of the Loire Valley heritage sites and the historic town of Tours far to the northwest.
Chartres Cathedral
On clear days during the descent, look for the iconic asymmetrical twin spires of the Chartres Cathedral on the horizon.
Chevreuse Valley
The scenic regional natural park provides a splash of deep green before entering the dense urban sprawl of the Paris suburbs.
Choose this side if flying during a late afternoon summer flight to capture the sunset over the Atlantic-facing horizon. This side is also excellent for spotting the geometric patterns of the agricultural fields in the Beauce region. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive blue-green roof of Chartres Cathedral about 15 minutes before landing.
