Access and transfers between Paris airports

Roissy Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris-Orly Airport are the two largest international airports in France. They are located respectively in the northeast and south of the Paris region, about 40 km apart.

The journey between the two airports usually takes 45 minutes to an hour by car, and one hour by public transport.

In both Paris airports, there are numerous access options to reach your terminal as quickly as possible:

  • Railway and bus stations allow direct access to the airport from the most distant regions,
  • Stations (RER station, tram stop, bus stop) provide access to Parisian transport,
  • And other facilities such as parking lots and drop-off areas allow access to Paris airports with private vehicles or transfers.

The CDGVal line at Roissy Airport, and the OrlyVal line at Orly Airport, offer shuttle services to reach the parking lot or terminal of your choice.

To transfer between the airports, there is no direct shuttle bus from Roissy to Orly. Therefore, you have two options:

  • Option 1: RER B shuttle + OrlyVal
  • Option 2: Taxi or VTC

So, public transport or private transfer? We'll help you choose the best solution for you!
