Landing at Orly: what happens after the flight
Orly has four terminal areas. Orly 1, 2 and 3 form one connected building in the west of the airport, while Orly 4, the former South terminal, stands a little apart and is linked by a walkway and the Orlyval shuttle train. Many flights from Spain, Portugal, Italy, North Africa and French regions use Orly, so the terminals can be busy at the start of school holidays.
When you book, add your flight number. The local provider follows your landing time and gets in touch by phone or WhatsApp to agree where in arrivals the driver will wait with your name sign. A late landing or a long wait at baggage reclaim does not change the agreed price.
Popular destinations from Paris Orly
- Paris city centre
- 24 km, typically 60–75 minutes. The A6 or A106 brings you north towards Porte d'Italie or Porte d'Orléans, where the slower part of the trip through the Paris streets begins.
- Versailles
- 30 km, typically 39–49 minutes. Thanks to the A86 running west through Antony and Vélizy, Versailles is one of the easiest places to reach from Orly without entering Paris at all.
- Disneyland Paris
- 52 km, typically 67–84 minutes. The drive loops around the east of the capital, usually via the A86 past Créteil and then the A4 towards Marne-la-Vallée, with the Francilienne as an outer alternative.
The southern motorway network around Orly
The airport sits right next to the A6, the motorway that links Paris with Lyon, and the short A106 spur connects the terminals to it. Heading north, the A6 splits into two branches that reach the boulevard périphérique at Porte d'Orléans and Porte d'Italie, the usual entry points to the Left Bank and the south of the city.
The A86 is the second key road. This inner ring runs a few kilometres north of the airport and lets drivers go west towards Vélizy and Versailles or east towards Créteil and the A4 without crossing Paris. Further out, the N104 Francilienne curves through Essonne and Seine-et-Marne and can be useful when the inner roads are congested.
Weekday rush hours, roughly early morning and late afternoon into the evening, slow all of these roads, especially the A6 approach to Paris and the A86 around Vélizy. Late evenings and Sunday mornings are usually much quicker.
Choosing the right vehicle
- Private car
- Suits one to three passengers with normal luggage, for example a couple on a city break or a business traveller heading to a hotel near the Seine.
- Minivan
- Takes up to about seven passengers. Families going to the Disneyland hotels often choose it for the extra luggage space and room for pushchairs. Larger vehicles for groups can be requested when booking.
- Child seats and equipment
- Request child seats in advance and mention bulky items such as bicycles or a pushchair, so the provider sends a vehicle that fits everything.
Paris through the seasons
Paris is a year-round destination. Spring and early autumn are popular for sightseeing, summer brings the largest number of families and a quieter city in August, and the weeks before Christmas fill the hotels near the department stores and the Disneyland resort.
