Orly to Paris: How to Get to the City
Orly sits about 14 km south of Paris — closer than CDG, but the public-transport links are less direct. Here is how every option compares in 2026 so you can pick the right one for your trip.
Book an Orly transfer ↗The quick answer
Orly is closer to Paris than CDG, so a private chauffeur is often only 25 to 40 minutes door-to-door, from 119€ with a terminal welcome and flight tracking. Public transport is cheaper but less direct: apart from the metro line 14 extension, most routes involve a change.
For families, business travellers and anyone who values a fixed price and zero hassle, the chauffeur wins on convenience. Budget solo travellers comfortable with a connection will save with public transport.
Private chauffeur from Orly
Because Orly is south of the city, a chauffeur reaches Left-Bank neighbourhoods, Montparnasse and the Latin Quarter especially quickly. Your driver meets you inside the terminal, handles the luggage and takes you directly to your door for a fixed fare from 119€. Flight tracking and free waiting time mean delays are absorbed without extra cost or stress — ideal after an early-morning or connecting flight.
It is the same premium experience as our CDG service: a clean, comfortable car, a professional chauffeur and a price that does not move with the traffic.
Taxi, Orlyval, tram and bus
Official taxis apply a regulated flat fare on direct rides between Orly and Paris intra-muros — 36€ to the Left Bank, 44€ to the Right Bank, set by prefectural order and subject to revision; beyond Paris the meter applies. Public transport has no direct line: the Orlyval shuttle connects to RER B at Antony, the T7 tram links to metro line 7, and the Orlybus runs to Denfert-Rochereau for around 13€ (single airport fare, check at the time of travel). The new metro line 14 extension also now serves Orly, which has improved direct access to the centre. Where the ranks are at each terminal, and how a taxi compares with a pre-booked car, is covered in Taxi to Orly airport: prices, ranks and the private alternative.
These options are economical but involve changes, stairs and walking with your bags — fine for light travellers, less so after a long flight or with a family in tow.
