002: Paris-Plage (LFAT) → Paris-Orly (LFPO).
POI’s:
While it sounds a bit weird I can assure you that the “Paris” in our departure airport’s name has not much to do with the French capital, which I picked as today’s destination! Therefore we flew from Paris to Paris, taking about 42 minutes and crossing most of Northern France, starting with this small village called Merlimont.
I try to play a bit with different camera angles to see if I might get some interesting experimental shots - like this diagonal one of Abbeville on the Somme Estuary.
I really liked this little lake with a small island inside of it so I took a shot. The village to the left is called Saint-Félix.
Somehow Paris is always covered in fog when I go there and somehow this always leads to atmospheric shots like this one of Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre. Although it made my approach to Orly a bit shaky since I couldn’t see the runway that well.
Small fact:
Did you know that the Basilica Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre (lit. “Basilica of the Holy Heart in Montmartre”) is not a true “basilica”? While a “basilica” refers most of the time to the iconic Roman public hall that was used as a base for most Western church layouts, the word “basilica” in Sacré-Cœur’s name comes from the title of “basilica minor”, a clerical title for a church of especially high rank.
