Arriving ORLY 9:30 AM Departing from Charles DeGaulle at 2:15 on international flight so probably should be there by noon So given the arriving flight is on time and it doesn't take too long to get retrieve checked bags, two hours?

Take the AirFrance bus. It takes an hour, leaves every thirty minutes, and costs you twenty euro. Everything else is more complicated.

Thank you Ed, Is Air France public transportation? Is it a route or a direct shuttle? Any hints on how/where to find it?

http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/en-GB/Passagers/Access-maps-car-parks/Paris-CDG/Access/public-transport/public-transport.htm Click on "Cars Air France line (ligne) 3" for details on where to catch the bus, etc (about 2/3 of the way down the page). Then, go about 1/2 way down the page to "Ligne 3" for more info. OR...you can take the RER B line that runs between the two airports...I don't know if you've ever taken either the bus OR the train in Paris before...I've taken the train AND the bus and they were very easy...once I got it figured out LOL!

Take the Air France bus. By far the easiest. It's a direct coach with a luggage compartment underneath, it's not a regular city bus.

Another vote for the Air France bus! I didn't think to mention this, but...be sure to have your daughter look at the pages I sent you in that link. That way, she'll be familiar with the logo on the buses...Here's another look: http://www.yelp.com/biz/les-cars-air-france-buses-paris (she'll have to click on the photos herself...) Hope she finds this to be an easy way to travel b/n the two airports! (BTW - I know about the daughter from a PM...) This was my very first ride in all of Europe; when I finally saw the Eiffel Tower through the front window of the bus I punched my husband in the thigh to keep myself from squealing like a 4 year old LOL!!! Happy times...;-)

Another vote for the direct Air France bus... everyone on that bus is doing exactly the same, connecting on another flight ;-)
