We are flying in to Orly Sur and staying next to Gare de Lyon.
For 2 people. Is there a bus best way to get there?
Also for 48 hours is there a transport pass you'd get or just do point to point?
Have been to Paris before and we are at a tail end of trip and a little tired.
Maybe go to the Orangerie and/or Louvre.
Is a museum pass worth it?
Thanks for help.
Restaurant suggestions casual and inexpensive would be great.

Best could be a taxi, otherwise several changes are required using public transportation, and you are still likely to spend 15-25 euro total.
Just pick up a carnet (10 pack of single trip tickets) for, I think, 13.80 euro. That's a 25% discount off the single ticket price bought one at a time. That should cover the 2 of you for 2 days.
Museum pass if you want to visit lots of museums, that is about the size of it.

Especially as you will be tired, I would say a carnet should do the job. If you will on the bus or Métro for sure more than 3 times each day then you can consider a Mobilis.
The Orangerie is a magic place.

Thanks for the advice. Ended up taking the Orlyval changing at Halles to the A 1 stop 11.45euros per person. Our hotel had said it would be 45 or more since we were arriving during rush hour. Since we just finished in Eastern Europe we didn't feel like dealing with a taxi during rush hour. Train was easy and met a nice family from Florence learning the route as we were. Have to say it was easy and took less than an hour.
Thanks for the mobilis suggestion. The first night we were a little tired so just walked the neighborhood.
Next day we got a 24 hour mobillis for 6.8 euros for arr 1-2 which the metro woman told us would cover all of Paris. We used it on the 69 bus which is a lovely ride and later will use it on the 42 and probably the 69 again to see the lights sparkle at the Eiffel Tower or else take a Seine river trip. Tomorrow will also use the mobilis to get to either the Ryanairbus or Nord Station. We are flying out of Paris Beauvis.
Saved us 4.5 euros each over buying the Paris pass.
Am now looking for options to get to Beauvis leaving later than the Ryan Airbus which leaves at
1140 for a 240 flight. I understand I also can take a train from Nord. Anyone have any experience with getting to this airport?

I'd stick with the Ryanair bus. You may be able to get a train to the city of Beauvais, but then you still have to get to the airport somewhere outside of town, probably by taxi. Beauvais is at least an hour north of Paris. Unless you want to go early and check out the cathedral.
