Transfer from Paris Orly Airport to Rouen

Your journey follows the A13 motorway (L'Autoroute de Normandie) northwest from Paris Orly, descending through the Seine Valley with views of rural Normandy, river crossings and approaching chalk plateaus. You'll pass near Versailles and Mantes-la-Jolie before reaching Rouen's historic riverside setting. The entire route is motorway-based, modern and well-maintained.

At Paris Orly, your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your landing terminal, holding a name sign. Plan 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes door-to-door; traffic typically flows smoothly westbound in the afternoon, though morning peak (7–9 a.m.) and evening return (5–7 p.m.) can add 15–20 minutes. Rouen's medieval old town has limited on-street parking, so hotels near the Cathedral or train station offer safer drop-off points.

Taxis from Orly to Rouen are unmetered and negotiable (€180–250+), unreliable for timing. SNCF trains require Paris Métro transfers (Orly CDG shuttle to Saint-Lazare, then 1h 28m to Rouen: €20–35 combined, 2h 40m total with connections). Private transfer offers fixed pricing, direct routing, no transfers, and real-time flight monitoring—ideal for groups, luggage or first-time visitors unfamiliar with Paris public transport.
