RER all the way to luxembourg from Orly?
i did a text search, but didn't see this answered. i know it's a rudimentary question, but i have to be sure! <BR><BR>according to the RER maps i've seen of paris, it looks like i can take the RER from orly to any of the stops on the RER Orly-CDG line...luxembourg, st. michel, chatelet, gare du nord, etc. i just want to be absolutely sure that i just hop on a train at the airport and get off at one of those above stops -- no changes, right? and this will cost around 11 euros?

faile,<BR><BR>Indeed, the Luxembourg stop is on the RER B line which goes to Orly. You do however need to take a little shuttle train called Orlyval from the terminal to the "Anthony" RER station. It's supposed to be very easy (never done it myself however).<BR><BR>Here's a useful link:<BR>http://www.ratp.fr/ParisVisite/Eng/Voy_q/Voy_r/Voy_r_spc/orlyval.htm<BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre

You will indeed have to take the Orlyval first, which is very easy. It is sort of a cable-railway going between Orly South over Orly West to Anthony. It runs off and on every few minutes. Buy your combiticket (Orlyval + RER) at the airport, follow the signs to RER, then you will come in a kind of hall with glass doors. It is behind the glass doors that the Orlyval will show up. The glass doors will open and close automatically.<BR>You can take the RER B all the way from Anthony to Charles de Gaulle without changes. If I recall well, I paid 17 euro for the combiticket from Orly South to Gare du Nord.
