the shuttle buses that also travel into downtown Paris.
Transportation Between Orly Airport and Paris
Shuttle buses (navettes) , the RER, taxis, and airport vans connect Paris with either termin-
al. Bus stops and taxis are centrally located at arrivals levels.
By Bus: Bus bays are found in the Sud terminal outside exits L and G, and in the
Ouest terminal outside exits C, D, and H.
“Les Cars” Air France bus #1 runs to Gare Montparnasse, Invalides, and Etoile
Métro stops, all of which have connections to several Métro lines. Upon request, drivers
will also stop at the Porte d'Orléans Métro stop. For the Rue Cler neighborhood, take
the bus to Invalides, then the Métro to La Tour Maubourg or Ecole Militaire. Buses

one-way, 4/hour, 40 minutes to Invalides, buy ticket from driver or save 10 percent

For the cheapest access to the Marais area, take bus #285 from outside the Sud ter-
minal(direction:Villejuif-LouisAragon)totheVillejuifMétrostation,line7(€3.40—two
Métro tickets, one for bus #285 and one for the Métro—4/hour).
By Bus and RER: The next two options take you to the RER suburban train's line
B, with access to the Luxembourg Garden area, Notre-Dame Cathedral, handy Métro line
1 at the Châtelet stop, Gare du Nord, and Charles de Gaulle Airport. The Orlybus goes
directly to the Denfert-Rochereau Métro and RER-B stations (€7.30, 3/hour, 30 minutes).
The pricier but more frequent—and more comfortable— Orlyval shuttle train takes you
to the Antony RER station, where you can catch the RER-B (€11.40, 6/hour, 40 minutes,

or Aéroport Charles de Gaulle to reach central Paris stops.
For access to RER line C, take the bus marked Pont de Rungis . From the Pont de
Rungis station, you can catch the RER-C to Gare d'Austerlitz, St. Michel/Notre-Dame,
Musée d'Orsay, Invalides and Pont de l'Alma (€7.30, 4/hour, 40 minutes).
By Taxi: Taxis are outside the Ouest terminal exit B, and to the far right as you leave
the Sud terminal at exit M. Allow €45 with bags for a taxi into central Paris.
By Airport Van: Airport vans are a good means of getting from Paris to the airport,
especially for single travelers or families of four or more (too many for most taxis; see
here ) . From Orly, figure about €23 for one person or €30 for two people (less per person
for larger groups and kids).
