Orly Airport

Orly Airport used to be Paris’s major international airport before most of the international air traffic was switched to CDG or Charles de Gaulle to the north of Paris. It’s too bad because getting to Orly from Paris is pretty fast especially if you’re already on the Left Bank. If you’re taking the Peripherique, you’ll be picking up A6 at the Porte d’Orleans exit on the ‘peripherique’.
Here ’s what you need to know. Be sure to take the Orly Airport route (A6) Direction Lyon - ONLY IF YOU’RE GOING TO ORLY. If you take Orly airport direction by mistake, and you’re headed to CDG, you’ll have to drive almost all the way to Orly before you can get off the A6, back on the peripherique, heading north to pick up the autoroute for CDG.
