Hi, I am flying from Barcelona to Paris, Orly and will be taking the Eurostar back to London. How much time should I allow myself from arriving into Orly to catching the Eurostar? I am planning to take the public transport system in Paris to get from Orly to Gare du Nord. Does anyone know about how long this will take? Thanks so much for any help!

The fastest way to get from Orly to Gare du Nord is to take the OrlyVal driverless shuttle train from the airport to the Antony RER station and the RER B from there to Gare du Nord. The OrlyVal runs every four minutes and the RER B runs about every eight minutes. The total trip will take about 40 minutes. The combined fare is €10.25. There is a required minimum check-in deadline of 30 minutes for the Eurostar. Give yourself a cushion in case your plane is late. Allow at least three hours between your scheduled arrival time at Orly and your scheduled departure time from Gare du Nord.
