Paris has two major international airports, Orly and Charles de Gaulle. Our independent travel across Europe flowed through Orly airport, so in this article I will tell you in what different ways you can get to the center of a romantic French city from this airport and back.
And right away, before I forget, I will recommend you good hotels in the city center Hotel Standard Design or Hotel Darcet, one is cheaper, the other is more expensive. Still, it's better to book in advance, we couldn't find anything on the spot in the evening, everything was closed, we had to spend the night in some kind of gadyushnik.

How to get from Orly airport to Paris
Transfer to order
Anyone who wants a minimum of body movements can order a transfer to Kiwitaxi via the Internet in advance. You will be met in the arrivals hall, picked up your luggage, put you in the car and taken to the right place. The method is good because there are no problems at all, but it costs SO MUCH, or even cheaper than a regular taxi.
