Metro line 14
€14 · 23 minutes to Gare de Lyon · every 2 to 5 minutes · 5:30 to 00:30
The line runs to Orly Terminal 3, and takes 25 to 26 minutes to Châtelet, 16 to Olympiades and 40 to Saint-Denis Pleyel, the end of the line (parisaeroport.fr, 30 September 2026). Terminals 1, 2 and 4 are on foot or by free shuttle bus from the station.

- Ticket: the “Ticket Paris Région <> Aéroports”, €14 one way, the only ticket that opens the gates at Orly. A Navigo pass valid for all zones and a Paris Visite pass work too. The airport ticket needs a phone or a Navigo Easy card (€2.05).
- Contactless bank card: it does not open the gates in the city; Île-de-France Mobilités takes one only to leave the metro at Orly, on the Montmartre funicular and on some suburban buses.
RER B and Orlyval
€14 · about 35 minutes · Orlyval every 5 to 7 minutes, 6:00 to 23:35
Orlyval is an automatic metro from the airport to Antony, where you change to the RER B. The RER B takes about 17 minutes from Denfert-Rochereau and 28 from Gare du Nord to Antony (parisaeroport.fr, 30 September 2026). It is the same €14 airport ticket, but a Navigo pass is not valid on Orlyval. Orlyval also carries passengers free between terminals Orly 1-2-3 and Orly 4. Use this route if you are staying on the RER B line, on the Left Bank at Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, or if metro 14 has works.
Tram T7
€2.05 · Villejuif–Louis Aragon in about 45 minutes · every 8 to 15 minutes
The tram connects the airport, at the Orly 4 stop, to the end of metro line 7, and Paris Aéroport puts the whole journey from Paris at 80 minutes (parisaeroport.fr, 30 September 2026). It is the cheapest, at a €2.05 Bus-Tram ticket plus a €2.55 metro ticket on line 7, but the slowest. It suits the south of Paris and travellers on a Navigo pass for zones 1 to 4.
Taxis
€36 Left Bank, €45 Right Bank, flat · 25 to 45 minutes
The flat fares are set by the Paris police prefecture and apply in both directions, whatever the traffic (parisaeroport.fr, 30 September 2026). Trips to Versailles, Disneyland Paris or the suburbs are on the meter. A standard taxi takes up to four passengers, and a van up to seven.
- Official taxis only: they wait at the ranks outside each terminal, with an illuminated “TAXI” sign on the roof. Turn down anyone who approaches you inside the terminal.
- Ranks: Orly 1, 2 and 3, level 0, gate 32a; Orly 4, level 0, gate 48a.
- Booking ahead avoids the queue at busy times; Paris Aéroport lists G7, Alpha Taxis and ABC Taxis as official companies.
At night
€2.05 · about 00:30 to 05:00 · about 1 hour
When the metro stops, four Noctilien night buses serve the airport: the N22 to Châtelet, and the N31, N131 and N139 to Gare de Lyon, every 20 minutes to an hour (parisaeroport.fr, 30 September 2026). All four stop at Orly 4 bus station, platforms 4 and 5; the N131 and N139 also serve Orly 1, 2 and 3. The fare is one €2.05 ticket, or a Navigo pass for zones 1 to 5.
