Orly Airport Buses

Air France Bus

Line 1 of Les Cars Air France connect the Sud and Ouest terminals with  Montparnasse and Invalides every 15 minutes from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The adult fare is €8 one-way or €12 return. Buses are air-conditioned and have luggage compartments where the driver will stow your bags. Buy your ticket at the Cars Air France kiosk or from the driver. Minimum travel time is 50 minutes.

Line 3 runs between Orly and CDG, with departures every 30 minutes and a minimum travel time of 50 minutes. The one-way fare is €16 for adults and €8 for children.

Orlybus

RATP's Orlybus is a long articulated city bus that runs from the Sud and Ouest terminals to the Métro and RER stop at Denfert-Rochereau. Buses depart every 15 to 20 minutes, and the trip takes about 30 minutes unless traffic is heavy. The fare is €5,80. Buy your ticket at the RATP desk in the terminal or from the driver. (On this route, you'll need to haul your bags into the bus and pile them on the luggage rack.)

Jetbus

The Jetbus (RATP line 285) runs every 12 to 15 minutes and connects both terminals with the Villejuif-Louis Aragon station of Métro Line 7 on the southern edge of Paris. This may be more convenient than Orlybus if you're staying near the Opera Garnier, since you can get to the Opera station without changing trains. It's a few cents cheaper than the Orlybus at €5,40.

Please note: For the return trip to Orly, take a Métro Line 7 train to Villejuif-Louis Aragon, not to the Marie d'Ivry stop (which is on a separate branch line).

Shuttle bus to RER Line C

A free shuttle bus runs connects the Sud and Ouest terminals with the Pont de Rungis-Aéroport d'Orly station of RER Line C, where a commuter train will take you along the Left Bank to the Gare d'Austerlitz, St-Michel/Nôtre-Dame, the Invalides, and the Eiffel Tower. The shuttles run every 15 to 20 minutes, and total travel time to the Gare d'Austerlitz is about 35 minutes. The RER fare was €5,65 when I last checked.
