Yes - France observes several public holidays, including Bastille Day on July 14 (a national celebration with fireworks and parades), Christmas, Easter, and Assumption Day (Aug. 15). On these days, many smaller shops and some restaurants may close, and transportation can be busier than usual. Major attractions typically remain open but may have adjusted hours, so it's worth checking in advance.
How early should I arrive at Paris-Orly Airport before my flight? For international flights, aim to arrive at least three hours before departure. For domestic and European flights within the Schengen Area, two hours is typically sufficient. Orly can get busy during peak travel periods, especially early mornings and summer holidays, so extra time is always wise. Check-in and security processes are generally efficient but allow buffer time.
Paris-Orly Airport is roughly 14 to 20 km (8 to 12 miles) south of central Paris, depending on your destination in the city. Under normal conditions, the journey to the city center takes around 25 to 40 minutes by public transit or car. Travel times can increase significantly during peak traffic hours, so it's worth planning accordingly.
Paris has made strides in accessibility, but the city center's older infrastructure - including many Metro stations - can be challenging for wheelchair users and those with strollers. Metro Line 14 (which connects Orly to central Paris) is fully accessible. Taxis and private transfers with accessible vehicles can be arranged in advance for a smoother experience.
The easiest public transit option is Metro Line 14, which connects Orly directly to central Paris stations including Gare de Lyon and Chatelet-Les-Halles. The Orlyval automated shuttle also links the airport to Antony station, where you connect to the RER B. For a more comfortable option, Daytrip's private transfer services offer direct transportation to your accommodation, eliminating the hassle of navigating public transport with luggage.
Paris offers some of the world's most iconic landmarks. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Palace of Versailles are perennial favorites. The Musee d'Orsay, Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre, and the Champs-Elysees are also well worth your time. And simply strolling along the Seine is a Paris experience in itself.
France uses the euro (EUR). You'll find currency exchange counters and ATMs throughout Paris-Orly Airport's terminals if you need cash on arrival. Credit and debit cards are accepted at most businesses in and around Paris. It's a good idea to have a small amount of cash on hand for tips, small purchases, or markets.
Paris is a year-round destination, but spring (April through June) and early fall (September through October) are especially lovely - with mild weather, blooming parks, and manageable crowds. Summer can be busy and warm. July and August see many Parisians leave the city, which means some local shops and restaurants may be closed, but major attractions remain open.
