Answer 2

Hi!

I've been to Paris many, many times and used both Orly and Charles de Gaulle Airport. And let me tell you something; Charles de Gaulle Airport is one of the worst in Europe!

It's very bad organized, it's dirty, the staff does not speak English, the bathrooms are so disgusting I rather not go, and it takes for ever to get the luggage.

At Orly, it's much better. the airport is smaller, but clean and nice and you get the luggage straight away when you get of the plane.

I've been to both airport over 20 times, and my experiences have always been the same.

So definitely, go for Orly. It will be much faster, cause you don't have to wait for one hour when you get of the plane. There is a train directly from Orly to the Eiffel Tower.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Distance wise, Orly is the nearest !

By trains and undergrand, from CDG to Eiffel Tower, you need to get into RER B and then RER C lines (after a change at Notre-Dame St-Michel Station) : 16.90 Euros. From Orly, you need to take Val d'Orly, then RER B and then RER C lines (after two changes : at Anthony then at Notre-Dame St-Michel Station) : 9.05 Euros.

Taxi from CDG : 40 euros. Taxi fro Orly : 21 euros

From Orly only : AIr France operates a coach arriving at Invalides (10-15 minutes walk from Eiffel Tower)

Answer 4

Geographically it is Orly, but I wouldn't recommend it. De Gaule is much more modern, and you have the RER within the airport itself, which can take you to Eiffel tower by on line change.

Charles de Gaulle International Airport (IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG) (French: Aéroport Roissy-Charles de Gaulle), also known as Roissy Airport (or just Roissy in French), in Paris, is one of Europe's principal aviation centres, as well as France's main international airport. It is named after Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), leader of the Free French Forces and founder of the French Fifth Republic. It is located near Roissy, 25 km to the north-east of Paris. The construction of this airport lasted about 10 years.

In 2004, Charles de Gaulle Airport ranked second in Europe in terms of passenger traffic with 51,260,363 passengers [1], behind London Heathrow Airport (67,344,054), and just above Frankfurt International Airport (51,098,271). In terms of plane movements, Charles de Gaulle Airport was number one in Europe with 525,660 planes [2], above Frankfurt International Airport (477,475) and Heathrow (475,999). In terms of cargo traffic, Charles de Gaulle Airport was also number one in Europe in 2004 with 1,876,900 metric tonnes (2,068,928 US tons) [3], above Frankfurt (1,838,894 metric tonnes) and Heathrow (1,412,033 metric tonnes).

CDG is connected to the RER urban rail network, providing service into downtown Paris three or four times per hour, and the high-speed rail TGV network. SNCF French Rail operates direct TGV services to several French stations from CDG, including Angers Rail Station in Angers, TGV Rail Station in Avignon, Gare de Bordeaux in Bordeaux, Grenoble Rail Station in Grenoble, Le Mans Rail Station in Le Mans, Lille-Europe in Lille, Lyon Part-Dieu, Lyon Perrache, Marseille Saint-Charles, Montpellier Rail Station in Montpellier, Nantes Rail Station in Nantes, Nimes Rail Station in Nîmes, Poitiers Rail Station in Poitiers, Rennes Rail Station in Rennes, Toulouse Rail Station in Toulouse, Tours Rail Station in Tours, and Valence Rail Station in Valence.
