Location

In 1976 the first underground station was opened at the airport. This was the terminus of trains running on the Roissy-Rail Line (now part of the RER-B) from Paris Gare du Nord. Since 1994, RER trains also go to the station at Terminal 2, where TGV trains also stop. The name of the old terminus is now Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 (T.3), and the new second terminus is called Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV.

RER, Réseau Express Regional, is a fast urban rail link. The station of Antony is also on the RER Line B, from where the station in Terminals 2 and 3 as well Paris Orly airport may also be reached. Passengers may change here for the OrlyVAL trains that take passengers in under 15 minutes to Orly-Ouest and Orly-Sud. The regular departure times make this a better option than the Air France Bus.

Many national French connections are operated from Orly, where Air Inter, a domestic operater has its hub and therefore these connections to the airport are still significant. Line 3 of Air France’s coaches ( Cars Air France) provides a direct link between the two airports Roissy and Orly and stops at all terminals.
