Shuttle bus to RER Line C

A 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 €6,-- fare is valid for both shuttle bus and the RER train.
