Charles de Gaulle to Orly Airports- Paris

Dear all, I hope someone can help!

I'm going to Corsica (hopefully) on holiday in August and we're trying to get everything booked. The problem is that there are no direct flights on the day we're travelling, so we fly into Charles de Gaulle and fly out of Orly.

I was wondering whether anyone had any first-hand experience of making this connection, how they did it, how easy it was and roughly how much it cost?

Any help would be appreciated!

Caroline

    Hi Caroline

    We made this connection last summer - there are direct shuttle buses ('les cars' - run by Air France) usually every 30 minutes but you should leave at least two hours for the connection so you have a relaxing journey & time to check-in - we had an Air France flight connection & were given just 90 minutes to get there... we only reached Orly check-in with 10 mins to spare :eek:

    Details and ticket costs here: http://www.cars-airfrance.com/

    I hope you don't get lost in CDG airport, that place is huuuuuuuge! :rotfl:

    I've done this a few times. Take a map of de Gaulle. The air france coach takes about an hour but can be more if the traffic is heavy.
    Timmay!
