Paris-Orly Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Orly is the closer of the two airports to Paris, just 13 km from the centre. Since June 2024 metro Line 14, extended to the terminal, covers the journey in 20-30 minutes; a valid alternative remains the Orlyval shuttle plus RER B from Antony, 30-35 minutes in total. Anyone with an early-morning flight, a short layover or heavy luggage is better off near the terminal or in the Rungis-Thiais area with a private shuttle; anyone wanting to visit Paris chooses a stop directly on Line 14. Not to be confused with Beauvais (BVA), a different airport with its own connections.
