How to get from Orly to Paris: every option compared
How to get from Orly to Paris when you land at one of its four terminals? Metro Line 14, Orlyval, tram, night buses, flat-rate taxi, ride-hailing app or private chauffeur: here are the prices, journey times and limits of each option.
Metro Line 14 links Orly to central Paris with no change, in about 25 minutes to Châtelet, for €14 per person in November 2026. Taxis charge a flat rate of €36 to the Left Bank or €45 to the Right Bank, per vehicle. A pre-booked private chauffeur waits for you in the arrivals hall, at a fixed price.
What are your options for reaching Paris from Orly?
Orly is the major airport closest to central Paris, around twenty kilometres away. Its terminals, Orly 1 to Orly 4, are served by the metro, Orlyval, the tram, night buses, taxis and private hire cars. The right choice depends on the part of Paris you are heading to, the time of day and your luggage. The public transport and taxi prices quoted here are those in force in November 2026; they may change.
Is Metro Line 14 from Orly to Paris direct to the centre?
Since June 2024, Line 14 has linked Aéroport d'Orly station to the heart of Paris with no change. According to Île-de-France Mobilités, it reaches Châtelet-Les Halles in about 25 minutes, with a train every 85 to 95 seconds at peak times. It runs between 5:30 and 1:55 depending on the day. You need a Paris Region ↔ Airports ticket, priced at €14 per person since 1 January 2026. The line also serves Gare de Lyon and Saint-Lazare, handy if you are connecting to a train. The Orlybus, which ran to Denfert-Rochereau, has not operated since March 2025.
Orlyval: price, journey time and connection
The Orlyval automatic metro links the terminals to Antony station in 6 minutes, every 5 to 7 minutes, from 5:40 to 23:35. At Antony, you take the RER B towards Denfert-Rochereau, Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, Châtelet or Gare du Nord. Allow about 35 to 40 minutes in total to the centre. The Orlyval ticket costs €14; the Paris Region ↔ Airports ticket, at the same price, is also accepted.
Orlyval or metro Line 14: which should you choose?
For the same price, Line 14 is simpler: no change, and stations in the heart of the Right Bank. Orlyval followed by the RER B makes sense if you are heading to the Latin Quarter or the south of Paris, served by the B line, or if Line 14 is closed for engineering works.
Is the T7 tram from Orly the cheapest option?
The T7 tram links Orly to Villejuif-Louis Aragon in about 45 minutes, from 5:30 to 0:30. It takes a bus-tram ticket at €2.05; you then need a metro ticket at €2.55 to continue on Line 7 towards the centre. The saving is real, but the journey is long and involves a change.
Orly to Paris at night: the Noctilien buses
Between 0:30 and 5:30, Noctilien routes N31 and N131, to Gare de Lyon, and N144, to Gare de l'Est, serve the airport about once an hour. They take over when the metro stops running, sometimes with a long wait.
How much is the Orly – Paris taxi flat rate?
For a direct journey between Orly and Paris, Paris taxis charge a regulated flat rate, valid in both directions, day and night: €36 to the Left Bank and €45 to the Right Bank in 2026. No surcharge is added; only a €5.50 supplement applies from the fifth passenger. For four people, the flat rate works out cheaper than four tickets at €14, whether you are going to the Left Bank or the Right Bank. Take your taxi from the terminal's official rank and decline any transport offers made in the arrivals hall.
Ride-hailing app or pre-booked private chauffeur: what is the difference?
A ride-hailing app shows a price before you order, which varies with the time and demand; you meet at the point shown in the app, often outside the terminal.
A private chauffeur booked in advance, at a fixed price, waits for you in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name. At Aura Chauffeur, the Orly – Paris transfer costs €95 by sedan, €129 by van and €189 by prestige sedan, per vehicle and including VAT, with no night or weekend surcharge. Your flight is tracked and 60 minutes of waiting time are included. It is not the cheapest option: it makes sense for a personal welcome, comfort and luggage. The name-board welcome is included; the more comprehensive Meet & Greet is available on quotation. The differences in status are explained in our guide private driver vs taxi in Paris.
