How To Get From Orly Airport (OLY) To Paris

Located only about nine miles from Paris is Orly Airport. Orly is a smaller and older airport but it still has plenty of connections within in France and Europe/N. America.

That said, its transportation options aren’t quite as straightforward as CDG but there are still plenty of options.

Orly has two terminals — Orly-Sud and Orly-Ouest. The terminals are connected by a free tram called Orlyval. The Orlyval also connects you to the RER-B — which is a train that will take you into Paris.

Orly to Paris By Shuttle Van

A shuttle van is a nice option if you want to be driven straight to/from your destination but don’t want to pay taxi prices. A one-way between ORLY and Paris should cost around €15-€30. The nice thing about shuttles is that you can pre-pay so you don’t have to worry about having money.

Each shuttle van will pick up a handful of people so it’s important to allow for extra time. Remember, shuttle vans drive on the same road as everyone else so adjust your schedule accordingly during rush hour.

Orly to Paris By Taxi

You’ll pay around €40-€50 for a taxi and the trip will take anywhere from 30-90 minutes depending on traffic. Feel free to tip a euro or two.

Most taxis take credit cards but be sure to ask before you get in. If the taxi doesn’t take cards then get in another — there will be plenty to choose from.

Only take official taxis from the designated taxi stand. Other cars might approach you but those are private cars and can cost a lot extra.

Orly to Paris By UBER

Uber is another option that is increasingly popular. Expect to pay around €40 for a normal UberX or €26 for an UberPool. We recommend budgeting around 30-90 minutes to get to/from the airport.
