we were going to take the train after spending 3 days in paris but decided to book a flight on air france instead. we are leaving out of orly airport going from paris to nice and we are returning from nice into cdg. are both airports accessable by train? can we train from central paris to the orly airport? was also wondering how far apart the 2 airports are? thanks everyone for all your input

Assuming you don't mean a regular big train, Orly is accessible from Paris by light-rail, surburban rail/underground rail, if that's wha tyou mean. CDG is, also, and it does have a regular big rail station (but limited departures). The airports are on opposite sides of Paris, I'd guess around 20 miles apart, but I'm not sure.

Are you asking whether Nice is accessible by rail? Last time I was there, which has been a while, no, it was not.

If you are talking about RER you
can take it to/from CDG and from/to Orly ( you have to change at Antony).

Hi Nicolino: Thanks to people on this board, we ended up doing the same. You have lots of options as far as transport from CDG to Orly. CDG is more of a distance north of the city than Orly is south.

Here's one weblink for starters:

And you always have the Paris Airports official website:

When we were in Nice, we took the taxi from the airport. It was a spit, I swear (and I can't even spit that far).

Nice airport is practically downtown.
