Fly to Orly or CDG?

I'm flying from Barcelona to Paris and have the choice or flying into Orly or CDG. I'm staying in Montparnasse, so I'm guessing that Orly is more convenient since it's 20km closer. but I wanted to make sure before I booked my flight.

I'll have 3 young children with me (3, 6, & 9) if that influences anyone's recommendation.

thanks

There's an Air France bus that goes from Orly to Gare Montparnasse if that helps. But I'm guessing that with three kids (and just yourself?) a taxi will be easier from either airport.

Orly is smaller and easier to navigate. CDG is a confusing place to exit (you go up to go down). I'd use Orly. I think the taxi makes sense, especially with children and luggage. Two years ago, I arrived at Orly and then had to find the correct bus to connect with the RER. That part wasn't real easy; maybe they've improved the system since then.

thanks for the advice.

any estimate on how much cab fare will be from Orly?

do cabs in Paris take plastic or just cash?
