I have cocked up. The destination I need to get to is diametrically opposed to CDG. I assumed it was in central Paris and booked my flight to CDG on this basis allowing myself an hour to get there. Is it better to travel through Paris or get a transfer bus to Orly. The venue is probably 10 mins taxi drive from Orly. I'd prefer not to get a cab all the way.

RER B line (blue one) - goes all the way.

Are you going to Massy by any chance?

Its easy. You just need the following:

1. Robert De Niro
2. A Peugeot 406 V6
3. Jean Reno

Agreed. Get the RER, then if necessary a taxi from whatever station's closest (Massy? Orsay?)

Thanks for the responses and recommendations. Did once take the helicopter shuttle service from the business park I was on to CDG. Scared the life out of me but that's another story.

If you take the RER, it's worth waiting for fast train that doesn't stop until Gare de Nord. It will get to GdN a couple of minutes after the slow train, and it won't stop at some of Paris's less salubrious suburbs wink
