Need to go between Paris and Orly Airport? Here’s everything you need — clear, friendly, and written so anyone (even a 12-year-old) gets it.
RER Train (via Orlyval shuttle)
- How to ride: Take the Orlyval train from any Orly terminal to Antony RER B station (it’s free within terminals, then a small fare to Antony). From Antony, hop on the RER B train into central Paris.
- Schedule: Orlyval runs roughly every few minutes from all terminals; RER B trains from Antony run every ~15 minutes between 5 am and midnight.
- Travel time: Orly→Antony: ~6 minutes; Antony→central Paris: ~25 minutes. Total ~35 minutes.
- Cost: Combined Orlyval + RER ticket is about €13 one-way.
- Note: Par passes (like Navigo) don’t cover Orlyval; you need the combined airport ticket.
Metro Line 14 (New Direct Connection)
Newest option! Since June 24, 2024, Metro Line 14 connects directly from Orly Airport into central Paris — no transfers needed.
- Cost: A single ticket Orly → Paris by Metro 14 costs €13
- Benefits: Fast (~25 minutes to Châtelet–Les Halles or Gare de Lyon), frequent trains, smooth ride.
Taxi (Official Paris Taxis)
- Flat rates:
- To the Right Bank: €45
- To the Left Bank: €36
- Availability: Taxis are available 24/7 outside arrivals at all terminals.
- Pros: Door-to-door, no fuss, great if you have bulky luggage or arrive late.
- Heads-up: Card might not always work — sometimes cash is safer.
Private Transfers (Orly ⇄ Paris)
If you prefer to skip trains, buses, and luggage hauling, a private transfer is the smoothest option. A driver meets you directly at the terminal, helps with your bags, and drives you straight to your Paris address.
- Comfortable vehicles: Cars or vans with air-conditioning and plenty of trunk space for big, bulky suitcases.
- Meet & greet: Your driver waits inside arrivals with a sign showing your name.
- Languages: Many drivers speak English, French, Italian, or Arabic.
- Timing: Around 30–40 minutes to Paris, depending on traffic.
- Availability: Day & night, 7 days a week.
- Price: From ~€90 per group (up to 3 people). Larger vans available for families or groups.
- Flexibility: Free cancellation up to 24h before, and you can book now & pay later.
“If you’re traveling with big or multiple suitcases, private transfer is by far the easiest choice. No stairs, no crowded carriages — just load your bags and relax.”
