Marseille and Calanques
Stunning views of the Old Port and the white limestone cliffs of the Calanques National Park during initial climb.
French Alps
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps and even Mont Blanc are visible on the eastern horizon.
Rhône Valley
The fertile valley known for its prestigious vineyards and the winding Rhône river.
Fontainebleau Forest
A vast expanse of ancient royal hunting forest just south of the Paris metropolitan area.
Paris Skyline
During the final approach to Orly (runway 25/07), the Eiffel Tower and La Défense are often visible in the distance.
Morning flights are ideal for the right side to see the sun illuminating the Alps. Keep your camera ready during the last 10 minutes of the flight; if the wind is from the west, the descent path often curves to provide a classic view of the Paris skyline.
