Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Tunis. While takeoff favors the right, landing provides more dramatic and sustained scenery. The approach over the Mediterranean and Tunisian coast is visually superior to the Paris departure, making left-side seats the better overall choice for this route.

During takeoff from Orly (ORY), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Seine's meanders through Paris and the surrounding Île-de-France region as you climb southeastward. You'll see the city's urban sprawl give way to agricultural patchwork and forests. Notable sights include: Seine River (winding through central Paris), Île-de-France agricultural plains, Fontainebleau Forest (southeast), Orly Airport runways and taxiways below.

When landing at Carthage (TUN), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Tunisian coast and the Gulf of Tunis as you descend toward Carthage. You'll see the Mediterranean shoreline, coastal cities, and the approach over water into the airport. Notable sights include: Gulf of Tunis (Mediterranean Sea), Tunisian coastline with beaches and rocky outcrops, Carthage ruins area (archaeological site near airport), Lake of Tunis (shallow lagoon west of airport).

The flight from Orly (ORY) to Carthage (TUN) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The flight crosses the Alps (visible as a jagged white ridge if weather permits, typically around 1 hour into flight), then descends over the Mediterranean. You'll pass over southern France (Provence region with its distinctive landscape), the Rhône Valley, and then open Mediterranean Sea. The Balearic Islands (Spain) may be visible to the left at distance. As you approach Tunisia, the North African coast becomes prominent with the Atlas Mountains visible inland (south and southeast). The crossing is predominantly over water for the final 90 minutes.
