You can take the driverless Orlyval train between terminals for free. These leave every four to seven minutes from 06:00-23:00 and journey time is only one minute. You can also take this train to Antony station to continue your journey into central Paris on the RER train (you'll need to pay for this journey). 

Locations: South Terminal, between Exits K and J. West Terminal, Exit A    

If you’re carrying a refillable bottle we suggest heading to the Tourist Information counter in the South terminal. There is a free water dispenser that alleviates the need to buy overpriced bottled water. It’s also better for the environment!

Listen to announcements! The screens at Orly are slow to be updated with boarding gate announcements or changes. We recommend listening carefully to any loudspeaker announcements because this issue has been known to cause flight delays and confusion among passengers.
