Helicopter flight over Paris: duration, price, departure from Issy-les-Moulineaux and what you see
A helicopter flight over Paris lasts 15 to 60 minutes of actual flying depending on the package; the longer ones (45 to 60 minutes, with a panorama of Paris) start around €300 per person according to a booking guide, and we found no reliable price for the short flights. Departures are from the Paris–Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport (a six-seat Airbus H135 on some offers) or from Toussus-le-Noble. The typical route follows the Seine, passes the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, and can extend to Versailles or Saint-Cloud.

Tips
- Choose the duration before the price: a 15-minute flight covers few monuments, a 45 to 60-minute one includes the full Paris panorama. Flights are cancelled or postponed in bad weather: book early in your stay. Take the seat with the best view (choice depends on the operator) and ask for the exact meeting point when booking. For a view without a helicopter, see our best free views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.
How to get there
Paris–Issy-les-Moulineaux heliport (Issy-les-Moulineaux, south-west of Paris); metro line 12 (Corentin Celton) then walk or taxi, to confirm with the operator when booking.
