Paris-Orly (ORY) is about 14 km south of the center, making it the airport closest to the city. For years the Orlybus linked the airport with Denfert-Rochereau (metro and RER B). Since then the network has changed, with metro line 14 reaching the airport: before you travel, check the operator’s site for the service currently running and its timetable.

Our top pick: From Orly Airport: Private Arrival Transfer to Paris

Options for getting into Paris

  • Metro line 14: the airport is served by line 14, which crosses the center with stops such as Châtelet and Gare de Lyon. It is the most direct public transport option.
  • Tram T7: it runs to Villejuif and metro line 7. Slower, useful for some southern destinations.
  • Shared shuttle: a minibus drops several travellers at their addresses, with a more variable journey time.
  • Private transfer: a driver meets you and takes you to your hotel. Simplest with children, heavy luggage or a late arrival.

We give no fares or timetables, to avoid out-of-date information.
