Go to www.ratp.fr and click on the British flag to view the site in English. Then click on "Airport Access" on the left-hand side of the page. You'll get a list of public transport choices and maps showing their routes.

Using the Métro program from nanika.net, I get the following for transit from Oberkampf(closest to our hotel):
Take Ligne 5 Direction Place d'Italie to Gare d'Austerlitz; transfer to Ligne RER C Direction Massy-Palaiseau to Pont de Rungis-Aéroport d'Orly; tansfer to Orlyval (Ligne Orly Rail) Direction Orly-Ouest to Orly Sud terminal
I'm figuring about an hour allowing for transfers and such. This reasonable and is there any saving (in money if not convenience) for 2 people over cabbing it?

Believe me, you don't want to take any of the Orly itineraries using the RER C unless your hotel is directly next to an RER C station. The trains stop at every station going to Pont de Rungis and it takes forever. A shuttle bus awaits you there. The Orlyval is not involved.

Aw, c'mon.
Pont de Rungis is the 8th stop from Gare d'Austerlitz. By way of comparison: on RER B from St-Michel, Antony is the 12th stop.
The fare from Oberkampf to Pont de Rungis is 3,45€ according to http://www.transilien.com/web/site/a...et-abonnements

Well, using the nanika Métro program, it's showing a travel time of about 42 minutes by its routing vs. about 52 going by Orlybus and getting from Oberkampf to Denfert-Rochereau. Are these times realistic? I'm assuming a certain amount of fudge factor and walking time at the two transfers, hence my assumption of allowing an hour
