How to get to Orly Airport?

Congratulations, you’ve booked your flight with Corsair! Whether you’re heading to the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean, or Africa, your vacation begins as soon as you set off for the airport. To help you avoid any last-minute stress, we’ve gathered all the essential information about getting to Orly Airport.

Corsair at Paris-Orly: your meeting point

The first golden rule for a smooth departure: go to the right place! At Paris-Orly, all Corsair operations take place at Terminal 4 (formerly known as Orly Sud).

Once inside the departures hall of Terminal 4, head directly to zones 42 (Africa flights) or 46 (Indian Ocean and Caribbean flights), or check the airport information screens.

There you will find:

check-in counters, if you have not completed your online check-in,
baggage tag printing kiosks and your flight’s boarding gates.

The Corsair terminal at Orly is clearly signposted: simply follow the “Orly 4” signs.

Getting to Orly Airport by public transport

Here are the different ways to get to Orly while avoiding traffic congestion:

By metro

Metro line 14 directly connects Paris to Orly Airport. This automated metro is the fastest and most reliable option to avoid traffic. The journey from Châtelet takes only 25 minutes. Allow 23 minutes from Paris Gare de Lyon. Trains run every 2 to 5 minutes, between 5:30 a.m. and midnight. The station drops you off in front of Terminal 3. Walk or take a free shuttle to quickly reach the other terminals.

Important: Line 14 requires a Paris Region <> Airports ticket (€14). A standard t+ ticket does not grant access to the Orly station. Good to know: From 2027, metro line 18 of the Grand Paris Express will connect Orly 4 to Versailles-Château and Saclay via an automated metro (15–20 minutes).

By RER

Take the RER B and get off at Antony station (trains every 4 to 8 minutes), then follow the connection to the Orlyval shuttle to reach the airport.

By night bus

Four Noctilien buses run throughout the night to Paris. Take lines N22, N31, N131, or N144 to Châtelet or Gare de Lyon.

By tramway

The RATP also provides access to Orly via tram line T7. From the Villejuif – Louis Aragon metro stop, allow around 35 minutes to reach the airport.

By car

By car, from Paris, take the ring road (boulevard périphérique) towards Porte d'Orléans or Porte d'Italie.

At one of these exits, leave the ring road and follow the A6b/E15/E50 towards Orly/Rungis/Bordeaux/Nantes/Lyon.
Continue on the A106 following signs for Orly/Lyon/Évry.
Finally, leave the motorway and take the N7 following signs for Orly 4.
At the airport, many parking facilities are available. We recommend checking current rates on the Paris Aéroport website.

Drop-off area

Paris-Orly Airport (ORY) drop-off zones are open from 3:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.
The first 10 minutes of parking in the drop-off area are free.

Important: From the end of 2026, free drop-off zones (10–20 minutes) will be limited to professionals (taxis/ride-hailing services); passengers will need to use car parks P4a/P4b (free shuttle to terminal).
