Paris Orly Airport (ORY)

Last verified: October 2026 · Confirmed by travelers this month: 0

The answer
Métro line 14 now starts at the Aéroport d'Orly station (in front of Orly 3, doors 33a) and races to Châtelet in about 26 minutes — a €14 Paris Région-Aéroports ticket, €7 reduced, trains every 2–5 minutes, running far later than the old airport shuttle (roughly 05:30 to midnight, IdFM lists services until ~01:55 depending on day).
Line 14 is driverless, fast and flat-fare simple: your Navigo week/month pass (zones 1–5) already includes the airport legs, and €2.55 metro tickets do NOT — so the airport ticket or a pass is the only valid way in through the paid gates.
Tight budget? Take tram T7 from the Orly 4 stop (level 0, door 48a) to Villejuif-Louis-Aragon on an ordinary €2.00 Bus-Tram ticket, then metro 7 into Paris — but it's ~45 minutes plus a long walk from Orly 1–3.
Door to door? Fixed taxi: €36 rive gauche, €45 rive droite (2026 prefectoral forfaits, both directions).

🚇 Every way out — real prices

Métro line 14 BEST FOR MOST
€14 airport ticket (€7 reduced)
The Aéroport d'Orly terminus sits in front of Orly 3; Orly 1, 2 and 4 are walkable, access signed from door 33a. Line 14 runs every 2–5 minutes: Orly → Paris-Gare de Lyon in ~23 min, → Châtelet in ~26, and the whole line end-to-end (Saint-Denis Pleyel) in 40. ADP publishes service from 05:30 to about midnight, Île-de-France Mobilités to ~01:55 depending on day. The 'Ticket Paris Région <> Aéroports' (fares from 1 January 2026) is €14, reduced €7, digital-only: on your smartphone via the IdFM app or loaded on a Navigo Easy card (€2.05). It includes 2 hours of metro↔RER transfers, but NOT buses/trams. Navigo Weekly/Monthly zone 1–5, Liberté + and Paris Visite holders just validate — airport trips included.
Tram T7 + metro 7 (no airport surcharge)
€2.00 Bus-Tram ticket + €2.55 metro
Tram T7 links Orly (stops at 'Aéroport d'Orly' near Orly 4, level 0 door 48a, plus Athis-Mons) to Villejuif-Louis-Aragon, where metro line 7 runs to Opéra via Palais Royal. Trams daily 05:30–00:30 every 6–15 minutes; the IdFM airport guide quotes 45 minutes end-to-end (the Orly information page says 30). One €2.00 Bus-Tram ticket covers the tram with 90-minute transfers among bus/tram; entering metro 7's paid gates needs a standard €2.55 Metro-Train-RER ticket (or your pass). The tram stop is a real walk from Orly 1–3 — best used from Orly 4.
Orlyval → RER B at Antony
€13–14 incl. Paris leg
The automatic shuttle still loops Orly's terminals to Antony (6 minutes, every 5–7, roughly 05:40–23:35), where RER B climbs into central Paris (Châtelet-Les Halles, Gare du Nord, Saint-Michel). Buy the €14 Paris Région-Aéroports ticket (Orlyval + RER in one, transfers included) rather than Orlyval's €13 paper ticket; children 4–9 get half off Orlyval. Heads-up: on 27 October 2026 Orlyval closes early (21:00) for track works and its own news page tells Paris-bound travellers to use line 14 — Orlyval now mostly matters for RER B destinations or the terminal-to-terminal hop.
Taxi (2026 fixed fares)
€36 gauche / €45 droite
Orly↔Paris taxis charge by the river bank, fixed both directions: €36 to rive gauche, €45 to rive droite (2026 decree, per the airport page and the government bulletin). Supplements: €4 immediate / €7 advance booking, €5.50 from a fifth passenger; minimum any ride €8. Stands at each terminal's arrivals level.

⚠️ The traps (walk past these)

Your €2.55 metro ticket cannot enter Orly's station

The Metro-Train-RER Ticket explicitly excludes boarding at 'Orly Airport' stations and the Orlyval — tap in with the standard fare and the gate (or an inspector) rejects you. The airport surcharge is the €14 Paris Région-Aéroports title... unless you reach the free-zone tram T7 stop instead.

Do this: buy the airport ticket in the IdFM app before validating, or exit to the T7 tram stop and pay €2.00
The €14 ticket refuses to share your card

IdFM's own terms: a Paris Région-Aéroports ticket CANNOT be loaded on the same Navigo Easy or phone already holding another ticket — and it's digital-only, no paper at the old-style machines. Arriving with your t+ loaded onto the same Navigo Easy means a second card (€2.05) or the app on your phone.

Do this: keep a clean Navigo Easy for airport days or use the IdFM smartphone tickets
Every pre-2025 guide sends you to Orlyval

Orly's 'only rail link' era ended when line 14 opened at the airport: faster (23–26 min centre), longer hours (midnight/01:55 vs 23:35), no RER-B change, and same €14. Orlyval even prints work-day closures (e.g. 21:00 shut on 27 Oct 2026) telling you to take line 14 — while its €13 paper ticket still buys a transfer at Antony.

Do this: default to metro 14; use Orlyval only for RER B corridors (Guillaume, Saint-Michel, CDG connections) or terminal hopping
The T7 stop is not 'at' the terminals

The tram is the cheap back door — but Orly information pages warn its airport stop is distant from Orly 1–2–3, reached from Orly 4 at level 0 door 48a, and the ride to central connections runs 45+ minutes with a metro change. A €2 saving can cost an hour with luggage.

Do this: use the T7 from Orly 4 / low-cost arrivals in daytime; at night or in a rush take line 14
€36 vs €45 is a river crossing, not a distance

The taxi forfait depends on which bank your address is on — a rive droite drop 3 km away is €45 while Châtelet-adjacent rive gauche is €36 — and booking fee (€4/€7) and the fifth-passenger €5.50 stack on top of the fixed price, with a two-month meter-update grace the decree grants drivers.

Do this: know your bank before joining the rank and confirm the forfait number on the driver's rate sheet
