Which airport is best?

RecommendedCDGCharles de Gaulle

RER B to Châtelet, then RER A or Metro 14 to Gare de Lyon — about 50 minutes. One interchange. The new Metro 14 extension makes this increasingly smooth.

RER B → Metro 14/RER A, €12, ~50 min, 1 interchange

ORYOrly

Orlyval to Antony, RER B to Châtelet, then Metro 14 to Gare de Lyon — about 65 minutes with two interchanges. The Orlyval premium adds cost and the transfer complexity makes this the less attractive option.

Orlyval → RER B → Metro 14, €15, ~65 min, 2 interchanges
