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.

It never beats the tram-and-métro route at EUR 4.60 a head. It beats the métro from four travelers to the Right Bank (EUR 45 against EUR 56) and from three to the Left Bank (EUR 36 against EUR 42).
The price depends on which side of the river you are going to, not on how far: EUR 36 for the 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th and 15th arrondissements, EUR 45 for the rest of Paris. Say your address, not "Paris". Outside the commune of Paris the meter applies.
The flat fare is for a direct ride. Ask for a stop or a detour and, in the arrêté's words, "la tarification forfaitaire n'est pas appliquée".
The journey time here is not an operator figure: no authority states one, so this is a realistic range for a road journey into Paris that starts 10 km from its edge. Rush hour on the A6 decides the rest.
Five to eight people in one car pay EUR 5.50 a head from the fifth on top of the flat fare. The statute allows an eight-seat taxi; whether one is waiting at the rank is another matter, and the supplement is the same in a booked one.
It is the only option here that certainly runs all night, and it costs the same at 03:00 as at noon.
