Paris Orly Airport
Orly, south of Paris, is the first major Paris airport you reach when driving up from Geneva. A private transfer suits passengers rebooked after a cancellation, families with heavy luggage, or anyone who would rather avoid a train to Paris followed by a cross-city connection. Your chauffeur drives you to the Orly terminal of your choice without a single change.

Chauffeur's tipOrly's terminals are numbered 1 to 4. Check your boarding pass for the right one and add it to your booking so the chauffeur goes straight to the correct departures area.
From Geneva to the south of Paris
After leaving Switzerland at Bardonnex, the route follows the A40 through the Ain, past Bellegarde and Nantua, then the A39 north through the Bresse and Burgundy. At Beaune it joins the A6, the main motorway between Lyon and Paris, which leads almost directly to Orly on the southern edge of the Paris region. Because there is no need to cross or bypass the capital, the journey is shorter than to Charles de Gaulle: around 4 h 55 for 532 km in normal traffic.
Arriving at Orly
Orly's terminals are housed in a single, continuous complex, which makes drop-off simpler than at Roissy, but there are still separate departure areas. Your chauffeur stops at the one matching your flight, helps with your luggage and you walk straight to check-in. AirportsTransfers.ch also offers the reverse journey: after landing at Orly you are met in the arrivals hall with a name sign, and we follow your flight so that waiting time is included if it is late.
Practical advice
The northern end of the A6 can be very slow on weekday mornings and on Sunday evenings, so we plan the departure time from Geneva with a buffer. On a trip of nearly five hours, one or two short stops in Burgundy are normal. A Mercedes S-Class is ideal for a business traveller, while a V-Class takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags. Child seats are available on request, and a return trip can be added to your booking.

The route to Paris Orly Airport10
How far is Paris Orly Airport from Geneva Airport?
Paris Orly Airport is about 532 km from Geneva Airport by road, around 4 h 55 by private car in normal traffic. The route runs almost entirely on French motorways through the Ain, the Jura foothills and Burgundy.
How long does the drive from Geneva Airport to Orly take?
Allow just under five hours of driving, plus one or two short stops, so most travellers reach Orly five and a half hours after leaving Geneva. Traffic on the northern end of the A6 near Paris can add time.
Which route does the chauffeur take from Geneva to Orly?
The chauffeur leaves Switzerland at Bardonnex, follows the A40 past Bellegarde and Nantua, then the A39 north through the Bresse and Burgundy. At Beaune the route joins the A6, which leads almost directly to Orly.
Do you cross a border on the way to Paris Orly?
Yes, the transfer leaves Switzerland for France at the Bardonnex crossing just outside Geneva, after which the whole journey to Orly is in France. Carry a passport or ID card valid for the Schengen area.
Why is Orly quicker to reach from Geneva than Charles de Gaulle?
Orly lies on the southern edge of the Paris region, so the A6 leads almost straight to it without crossing or bypassing the capital. Reaching Charles de Gaulle means going around Paris to the north, which usually adds time.
What traffic should I expect on the A6 to Orly?
The northern end of the A6 near Orly is often slow on weekday mornings, on Sunday evenings and at the start and end of school holidays. The chauffeur plans the departure from Geneva with a buffer for these peaks.
What time should I leave Geneva to catch a flight from Orly?
Plan to leave Geneva around seven and a half to eight hours before your flight: just under five hours of driving, a margin for traffic near Paris and around two hours at Orly for check-in and security. Allow extra for long-haul flights.
Is the road from Geneva to Orly affected by winter weather?
The A40 between Geneva and Nantua crosses hilly country where snow and ice can occur in winter. The chauffeur drives with winter tyres and adapts speed, and the rest of the route to Orly is on open motorways.
Where do you stop on the way to Orly?
On a trip of nearly five hours, one or two short stops in Burgundy are normal, often at a service area on the A39 or near Beaune. The chauffeur builds the breaks into the timing of your Orly transfer.
Is there an alternative route from Geneva to Orly?
Yes, depending on traffic, the chauffeur can drive via Mâcon and the A6 north through Burgundy, or via the A39 and Dijon. Both routes reach Orly in similar times, and the choice is made on the day.
