CDG AIRPORT TERMINAL 2 TO ORLY BY TRAIN

To get to Orly airport by RER train from CDG Terminal 2,on arriving, you need to make your way to 'Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2' train station -  within the terminal,it is located between Halls C/D and E/F. This station is for both TGV and RER trains.Simply follow the signs 'Paris par train' / 'Paris by train'

It can be reached from Terminal 2 locations (Halls) by walking / moving walkways (quite long). You will find signs as to how far you are away from each of the other locations and the station within the  Terminal. Longest walking journey is around 20 minutes

There is also the option of using the free airport bus 'Aeroports de Paris N1'.- if you have arrived at Terminal 2A or 2B and don't want the 20 minute walk for example (you do have moving walkways to assist you) you can catch the bus at gate A5 at Terminal 2A and gate B6 at Terminal 2B. They have a 15 to 20 minute frequency. 

You get off at the 'Terminal 2 railway station' stop and follow the signs as above.
​By following the signs you will eventually reach the large antrum that is level 4, you are greeted by the massive flight display board and SNCF's (the French railway company) not too subtle pink columns letting you know you have to go down to get to the station

You descend to the next level via the escalators..

You will find plenty of ticket vending machines at both stations. You have to use the Billetterie Ile-de-France vending machines (green here for some reason) and not the yellow SNCF TGV machines, as they do not sell tickets for the RER B. You must use a 'smart chip enabled' card at these machines or cash. They are 'touch screens' with multi-language choices and easy to use.

If you have a problem with paying for your tickets with your card or do not have euros you can buy them from the nearby SNCF ticket office though this can be a busy place at times

Your ticket is valid for the journey to the centre of Paris  This ticket is also good for a transfer from the RER to the local Metro system and an unlimited number of transfers once you are inside the Metro as long as you don't exit a metro station.
The combined fare RER + OrlyVal should be around 22 euros
Once you have your ticket you then descend to Level 1 - which is a mid-level and seems like a great waste of space, before continuing to follow the signs 'Paris par train'...

Follow the signs...

Remember the station is split into two distinct sides, the one you want is for RER suburban trains (for Paris city centre), the other, for the TGV high speed intercity trains - be sure and choose the right one!  Just follow the signs... 

Descend on to platforms...

The platform signs read 'Tous les trains vont à Paris' all the trains serve Paris. When the the train arrives the doors should open automatically but if they don't just push on the rubber button to operate.

Don't be put off by the sign on the platform saying 2 TGV as this is just the name of the station - you are at the right place - quick guide -  RER trains are RED, TGV are BLUE.  

Take the RER train in the direction of 'Saint Remy les Chevreuse' B4 to 'Antony' station and from there ride the OrlyVal shuttle train to the airport. Do not take trains marked B2 Robinson as they split away before 'Antony' station, although if you do find yourself on this, all is not lost as you can get off at 'Bourg-la-Reine', or any stop before it, and pick up the correct train.

Once you arrive at 'Antony' station the airport and OrlyVal shuttle are well signposted.

Remember arrows pointing down mean straight ahead.

---

The OrlyVal shuttle train stops at both Orly West (Ouest) terminal and Orly South (Sud) terminal where you make you way from the shuttle train to the terminals via short walkways.
