Question that inspired this post:
Does anyone know if you can catch the Metro from Orly airport straight into the centre of Paris, please?
Answers
"You can't take the Metro directly from Orly airport into the centre of Paris, but you can take the Orlyval train to Antony station, and from there you can transfer to the RER B train which will take you to central Paris."
"From 23rd June, 2024 you can take metro 14 from Orly airport to central Paris. Until then you can take tram T7 to Villejuif Louis Aragon and catch metro line 7 from there to central Paris."

No, you cannot catch the Metro directly from Orly Airport to the centre of Paris. However, there are several efficient alternatives to reach the city centre:
1. OrlyVal + RER B
OrlyVal: A dedicated airport train link that connects Orly Airport terminals to the Antony RER station.
RER B: From Antony, you can take the RER B train directly into central Paris. Key stations include Châtelet-Les Halles, Gare du Nord, and St Michel.
Duration: Approximately 33 minutes.
Cost: €14.10 for a combined ticket.
2. OrlyBus
OrlyBus: A shuttle bus service operated by RATP that connects Orly Airport to Denfert-Rochereau train station in Paris.
Duration: 30-40 minutes.
Cost: €11.20 (free with a Navigo Pass covering zone 4).
Note: From Denfert-Rochereau, you can transfer to the Paris Metro (Lines 4 and 6) or the RER B.
3. RER C + Shuttle Bus
Shuttle Bus: A bus service from Orly Airport to Pont de Rungis RER station.
RER C: From Pont de Rungis, take the RER C train into Paris. Key stations include St Michel.
Note: This option is less popular due to the additional bus transfer required.
Summary of Options

OrlyVal + RER B | Châtelet-Les Halles | 33 min | €14.10 | Fastest public transport option |
OrlyBus | Denfert-Rochereau | 30-40 min | €11.20 | Cheapest option, free with Navigo Pass |
