Orly to central Paris: metro 14, taxi and transfers
Compare metro 14, the Orlyval connection, taxis and private transfers from Orly to Paris. Check airport tickets, changes and the final journey to your hotel.
You have arrived at Orly, with the streets of Paris still ahead. Perhaps you will drop your bags before a walk, or head straight into the day’s plans. First, let us make the connection easier: which exit, which transport and what happens on the way to the hotel?

Before arriving at Orly, save your hotel’s full address rather than just its name. Even within one neighbourhood, two hotels may suit different connections. Consider the terminal exit, interchanges and final walk with luggage together. On a first visit, a route that is easy to understand can be more useful than one that looks slightly shorter.
Think about who is travelling with you too. A simple change for two adults may feel different with a pushchair. Our Paris travel with children helps you prepare those details before leaving.
How should you assess metro line 14?
Line 14 is a rail option between Orly and the city. First identify where you would leave it to continue to your hotel. If you need to change, check the direction and final walk rather than just the line colour. Our Paris metro and RER guide explains the planning process.
Check the ticket valid for entering or leaving the airport station. A city ticket does not necessarily cover that journey. Read the conditions with Île-de-France Mobilités and check service conditions on the travel day.
If you prefer a direct journey
For a taxi or transfer, give both passenger and luggage numbers. Large suitcases, a folded pushchair or an accessibility need can affect vehicle choice. Ask for a clear meeting point so that you do not have to work it out at the exit.
Clarify waiting arrangements, extra stops and child seats in the quotation. This makes comparisons more useful. Our VIP Paris Transfer links disclose the commercial affiliation; your choice should still depend on your own journey.
Remember the evening arrival and the return
For a late flight, do not judge the last connection from landing time alone. Luggage collection and leaving the terminal take additional time. Read arriving in Paris at night and prepare an alternative if the connection is uncertain.
For the return, recheck the terminal and flight rather than assuming your arrival exit is the right reference. Add the airline’s guidance and a margin for disruption to the journey from your hotel. Save the route beforehand to avoid a rushed search on the last day.
LET’S PLAN THE JOURNEY
Example: metro 14 or a connection through Antony?
Enter the full hotel address to assess metro 14. Compare Orlyval followed by RER B at Antony if that offers a clearer route to your accommodation. The second option involves a change, so include luggage handling and the final walk in your comparison.
Compare both for the same date and time. Read the conditions of the ticket covering the airport station rather than assuming a city ticket is sufficient. At night, check the whole chain of final connections.
Compare your options
| Option | Best suited to | Check first |
|---|---|---|
| Metro 14 | Light luggage and manageable changes | Check ticket coverage and station access. |
| Orlyval + RER B | Rail connection with a change at Antony | Check fares, schedules and accessibility with official sources before travelling. |
| Taxi | Door-to-door travel | Check the official taxi rank and applicable fare. |
| Private transfer | Door-to-door travel arranged ahead | Confirm the scope, child seats and price in writing. |
