Search flights from UIP to ORY
Gulf of Morbihan
A breathtaking 'inner sea' filled with dozens of islands, best seen about 10-15 minutes into the flight.
Circuit de la Sarthe
Look for the world-famous 24 Hours of Le Mans racetrack as you pass over the city of Le Mans.
Loire Valley Margins
Glimpse the northern reaches of the 'Garden of France,' featuring sprawling vineyards and the occasional chateau.
Paris Skyline
On the standard approach to Orly, this side usually offers a clear view of the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse Tower, and the Seine.
Sit on the right for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. The highlight is the approach into Paris; if the wind is from the east, the plane often circles the city, providing a magnificent panorama of the urban landscape. Have your camera ready specifically when crossing the Eure river valley.

Armorique Regional Park
View the lush, rolling hills and preserved wilderness of the Brittany interior immediately after departure.
Mont Saint-Michel
On clear days, the iconic abbey can often be spotted on the distant northern horizon as you cross the regional border.
Norman Bocage
Observe the classic French countryside characterized by small fields, high hedgerows, and traditional stone farmhouses.
Palace of Versailles
As the plane begins its final descent, the massive palace complex and its geometric gardens are frequently visible to the north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a more expansive view of the northern Brittany coastline and the distant English Channel. Keep an eye out for the distinctive white radomes of the Pleumeur-Bodou telecommunications center if the flight path tracks slightly north.
