This is IDFM's named replacement for the Roissybus, and it does not go to Paris: it ends at Saint-Denis-Pleyel and carries on to Argenteuil. Budget EUR 2.05 for the bus plus EUR 2.55 for metro 14 and a change.

IDFM advertises "un trajet direct en 30 minutes". Its own timetable schedules 32 to 60 minutes from Roissypôle to Pleyel, typically about 42, because the bus calls at La Plaine and Stade de France on the way.

It leaves from Roissypôle, not from the terminals. From Terminal 2 that is nine minutes on the CDGVAL first; from Terminal 1, four.

The EUR 14 airport ticket is not valid on it. Neither is the EUR 2.55 metro ticket you will need afterwards.

Take a train signed for Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse or Massy-Palaiseau: only those call at Antony, where you change for the Orlyval. Trains for Robinson, and those that end in central Paris, do not.

Orlyval puts the whole trip at 1 hour 15 minutes on average, change included; the two rides alone are about an hour and ten minutes.

Orlyval runs every day 06:00 to 23:35. The RER B leg decides the last departure from Charles de Gaulle: about 22:25.

On 27 October 2026 the Orlyval closes at 21:00 for track works; the last way to Orly that evening is metro line 14 from Paris.

Orlyval calls at Orly 1-2-3 first and Orly 4 a minute later; get off at the terminal you need.
