ORYLIG

Which side of the plane to sit from Paris-Orly Airport (Paris) to Limoges Airport (Limoges)?

Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a scenic transition from the Paris basin into the lush, rolling hills of the Limousin, offering views of the Sologne forests and distant Massif Central peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏢

Parisian Suburbs

Immediate views of the southern metropolitan sprawl including Antony and the Rungis market area upon takeoff.

🌲

Sologne Forests

Fly over one of France's most densely wooded regions, famous for its hidden châteaux and hunting estates.

⛪

Bourges Silhouette

On clear days, spot the distant Gothic silhouette of Saint-Étienne Cathedral to the southeast.

⛰️

Massif Central Foothills

As the plane descends, watch the landscape transform into the rugged green terrain of the Haute-Vienne.

Book a morning flight to enjoy the soft light reflecting off the Sologne lakes. Watch the horizon as you approach Limoges; the elevation rise is subtle but beautiful as the Massif Central foothills emerge.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌾

Beauce Plains

Witness the geometric patterns of France's primary agricultural region, often called the 'breadbasket' of the country.

💧

Loire River Crossing

A brief but iconic view of the Loire river winding through the valley south of Orléans.

🦆

Brenne Natural Park

Look for the 'Land of a Thousand Lakes,' a mosaic of ponds and wetlands vital for migratory birds.

🏘️

Châteauroux

Get a bird's-eye view of this central French town and its surrounding industrial and residential zones.

Choose the right side for evening flights to experience the sunset over the Brenne wetlands. This side is also better for spotting the winding course of the Indre river during the mid-flight cruise.
