Paris Orly Airport FAQs
No, the airport has a wide range of connections, both by bus and metro, to the city centre. But, in case you miss them all, you will find many taxis waiting at the airport in the arrival area without too much trouble
Yes, of course. The best way to do so is to choose one of the means of public transportation to avoid high taxi prices. If you don’t want to carry your luggage with you, you can easily leave it at the airport since there is baggage storage in terminal Sud public area near Gate G departures hall. Bagages du Monde will ship, store (short term or long term) or wrap your luggage.
Unfortunately there is neither intercity buses nor intercity trains directly from the airport, if you are looking to travel e.g from Paris to Lille, Paris to Lyon or from Paris to Brussels, you will have to travel from the airport to one of the major bus or train stations in Paris to continue your travel towards other domestic and international destinations.
Yes, there are several exchange offices and ATMs at the airport, working 24/7, but it would be better to exchange the money before the trip and have some euros on you since the rate will be a lot higher on the spot and no currency other than euro is accepted.
