This is the cheap way in and it is slow: Paris Aéroport's own figure is 80 minutes from Paris to Orly 4 with the change at Villejuif, against 26 on line 14. You are trading about an hour for EUR 9.40 a head.

Buy both tickets in the Île-de-France Mobilités app before you leave the terminal. The tram ticket will not open a métro gate and the métro ticket will not validate on the tram.

The tram stop is at Orly 4, not at the métro station under Orly 3. If you land at Orly 1, 2 or 3, the free shuttle to Orly 4 comes first.

It runs on the ordinary tariff, so every pass that is refused at the métro gates — a Navigo Jour, a card of ordinary tickets — works here.

The 40 minutes to Villejuif is the airport's figure for that leg; the same page also gives 45 for the full line end to end. The métro leg is not timed anywhere reachable, so the 80 is the only sourced door-to-door figure.

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

At Antony take an RER B signed for Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2. It calls at Aéroport CDG 1 (Terminals 1 and 3) first and ends at CDG 2 (Terminals 2A to 2G) two minutes later: get off at the one for your terminal.

Orlyval runs every day until 23:35, but the RER B to the airport can stop sooner on weekday evenings: plan on the 22:07 Orlyval from Monday to Friday.

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