TLN → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Toulon-Hyères Airport (Hyeres) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure over the Mediterranean islands, a distant panoramic view of the snow-capped Alps, and a scenic descent over the historic Fontainebleau forest.
Îles d'Or
Immediate views of Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the Levant islands right after departure from TLN.
French Alps
On clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Mercantour and Écrins massifs dominate the eastern horizon.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of world-famous vineyards in the Côte d'Or region passing underneath.
Fontainebleau Forest
A massive expanse of deep green woodland indicating the final approach into the Paris region.
Paris Skyline
Depending on the landing runway, catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower in the distance.
For the best experience, book a morning flight on the right side to see the sun illuminate the distant Alpine peaks. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Hyères islands during the initial climbing turn.
Rhône Delta
Aerial view of the Camargue wetlands and the mouth of the Rhône river shortly after takeoff.
Massif Central
Rugged volcanic plateaus and hills visible to the west as you head north through central France.
Lyon Urban Area
The dense urban sprawl and the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers are often visible mid-flight.
Loire River
Wide, sandy riverbeds near Nevers and Cosne-sur-Loire during the transition to northern France.
Parisian Outskirts
Dense residential clusters of the Essonne department appearing during the final descent.
Sit on the left for sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while still catching the golden hour glow over the Massif Central. This side is also superior for viewing the industrial heart of the Rhône valley.
