Paris Orly Airport

Long-distance transfers from Orly Airport

Orly is the natural gateway to the south: the A6 and A10 are just minutes away. Land, collect your bags and head straight for Lyon, Bordeaux or Geneva.

Orly, the best starting point for the south

Orly Airport lies south of Paris, right next to the A6 (towards Lyon) and a few kilometres from the A10 (towards Orléans and Bordeaux). Leaving from Orly rather than the city centre means avoiding the Périphérique ring road and often saving half an hour.

Orly’s four terminals (1, 2, 3 and 4) are all connected. We give you the exact meeting point in advance, based on your arrival terminal.

For the north, Lille or Belgium, Orly still works, but you have to cross the Île-de-France region via the A86 or the Francilienne. We choose the route according to the time of day: at certain times, going round to the east saves a lot of time.

Whether you are arriving on a domestic flight, from elsewhere in Europe or from North Africa, it works the same way: the driver tracks your flight, waits for you with a name board and walks you to the vehicle.
