Boards at. Aéroport d'Orly station, underground: two entrances on the forecourt of Orly 3 and one by car park P3 at the bus station. Orly 1, 2 and 4 are a walk or a free shuttle away

The Ticket Paris Région <> Aéroports costs EUR 14.00 full fare, EUR 7.00 reduced for children 4 to 9; under 4 travel free. It's the only ticket that opens the gates at Aéroport d'Orly station — the ordinary EUR 2.55 ticket does not work there. It's valid for two hours of métro and RER connections, covering a change at Châtelet or Gare de Lyon.

Luggage. A métro line: no racks, and the trains are full at rush hour.

Hours. Service runs 05:30 to 00:00 on one part of the airport's page, to 00:30 on another; treat midnight as the safer last train. Check before relying on anything after 23:30.

Boards at. Tram stop at Orly 4; from Orly 1-2-3 it is a walk or the free shuttle

Two separate tickets are needed: a Ticket Bus-Tram at EUR 2.05 (reduced EUR 1.05) for the tram, then a Ticket Métro-Train-RER at EUR 2.55 (reduced EUR 1.30) from Villejuif–Louis Aragon. Neither is an airport product — the tram runs on the ordinary tariff. A Navigo Jour day pass at EUR 12.30 covers both legs.

Luggage. A street tram and then a métro: no racks, stairs at the change.

Hours. The airport's hours, not RATP's timetable: Paris Aéroport states "Le tramway 7 circule de 5h30 à 00h30, 7J/7", every 8 to 15 minutes. The métro leg keeps its own hours.

The same Ticket Paris Région <> Aéroports as the métro, EUR 14.00 full, EUR 7.00 reduced, covers Orlyval and the RER together; under 4 free, 4 to 9 half price. Validate it at the gates at Antony. Navigo passes, including Navigo Jour, are not accepted on Orlyval; Paris Visite and Navigo Liberté + are. Between Orly 1-2-3 and Orly 4 it's free.

Luggage. Carried; the shuttle is small and the RER has no racks.

Hours. The operator's own timetable page and its règlement commercial of 9 June 2026: "tous les jours, de 6h00 à 23h35 (dernier départ), avec une fréquence de 9 minutes". Paris Aéroport puts the interval at 5 to 7 minutes; the operator's figure is the one here.
