Same price as the métro and slower to Châtelet, so it earns its place only for the RER B corridor: Denfert-Rochereau, Saint-Michel, Châtelet–Les Halles, Gare du Nord and the change to Charles de Gaulle.

The last shuttle leaves at 23:35 and the first at 06:00, the operator's own figures, which makes this the earliest thing to stop at night.

The change at Antony is a real one, with gates: keep the ticket, and remember the RER B leg is only priced here on the airport ticket, not on an ordinary EUR 2.55 single.

A Navigo pass that is valid on line 14 to the airport is not valid here. Anyone on a weekly or monthly pass should take the métro.

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.
