Hi L,

Go to http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/en-GB/Passagers/
Click "Access to airports"
Click 'From an airport to another one"

Have a nice visit.

You can take the free airport train from Orly to the RER B. You might have to transfer on the RER B from one train to the another, which I would do between Bourg-la-Reine and Denfert-Rochereau so that the transfer is on less crowded platforms. But there would be no change of platform.

How much time do you have between flights?

If you have several hours, you might want to buy a 5-zone <i>Paris Visite</i> card for 16.75&euro;, a transit pass which will give you the run of the RER, bus, and M&eacute;tro networks (not including the Orlyval from Orly to Antony) for one calendar day. You can sightsee at will and transfer between airports for the one fare.

Thus, you could take RER C in to St-Michel (the free shuttle will get you from Orly to the station at Pont de Rungis), browse around the Latin Quarter, and continue on to CDG via RER B from Luxembourg. Or ride RER C all the way to the Eiffel Tower and then a N&deg; 92 bus to the Arc de Triomphe. Or maybe the N&deg; 42, the scenic route to Gare du Nord.

If you're there on a summer sunday afternoon, the <i>Balabus</i> will take you to many sights up and down the river.

If your luggage isn't checked through, you could drop it at Gare du Nord first thing. Then it would be on your way to CDG no matter where you wander, because RER B goes through that station.

Correction: <i>Paris Visite</i> <u>is</u> valid on the Orlyval (and it's the only pass that is, by the way). So you could begin by riding that over to RER B at Antony instead of the shuttle to RER C at Pont de Rungis.

Thank you all. Actually the info. is for a friend who is meeting me in Nice for a few days after she auditions for the Moulin Rouge(how awesome is that!)She's taking easy jet back from Nice to Orly because the flight times into CDG don't work for her, but her flight that evening back to NYC leaves from CDG so she needed to get from one to the other. I think she'll end up just hanging at the airport for a few extra hours.

Oh. Never mind.

If she doesn't want to get into Paris, then I would recommend the Air France bus (route #3) for 16&euro;

Hi La,

&gt;...the info. is for a friend who is meeting me in Nice for a few days after she auditions for the Moulin Rouge...

Mind introducing me to your friend?

&gt;I think she'll end up just hanging at the airport for a few extra hours.&lt;

That's a shame. Even a couple of hours in Paris is better than hanging out at an airport.

Gee, the &quot;every approach is a sexual advance&quot; theme seems to have permeated this thread, too.

Phew.
