Giverny - Claude Monet's House & Gardens → Orly Airport (ORY)
Giverny to Orly Airport — Private Transfer from Monet's Village
You have spent the morning — or the day — in Monet's garden. The Water Lily Pond has been walked around twice. The Japanese Bridge has been photographed. The Yellow Dining Room with its walls of Hiroshige prints has been stood in long enough to understand why Monet never stopped collecting Japanese art. And now Orly Airport is waiting — south of Paris, across the city, on the other side of the entire French capital.
The estimated trip time from Giverny to Paris Orly Airport is 1 hour 14 minutes and the distance is 88.8 km. Your Luxberri chauffeur is in the village. The vehicle is ready. The A13 east and the A86 south deliver you to the Orly terminal complex in just over an hour — without entering Paris, without a single connection, and without any of the complexity that public transport introduces between Giverny and Orly's southern terminals.
One call. One car. One hour and fifteen minutes. Done.
The Route — Why Giverny to Orly Is Different from Giverny to CDG
Most Giverny visitors think of CDG as the obvious airport for a departure transfer. But Orly serves a specific set of airlines — particularly domestic French routes, North African international flights, and Southern European carriers — and for these passengers, the Giverny to Orly transfer is the natural and correct connection.
The route is also distinct from the CDG transfer. From Giverny, your driver takes the D5 to the A13 motorway east — the same first section as the CDG route. But instead of continuing northeast on the A104 to CDG, the Orly route turns south on the A86 at Rocquencourt — the junction just west of Versailles. The A86 then carries you south through the western suburbs of Paris — past Vélizy, past Antony — to the Orly terminal complex south of the city.
The result is a route that passes close to the Palace of Versailles on the A86 approach. For visitors with a late afternoon or evening Orly flight who want to incorporate one final France experience on the departure day, a Versailles stop is not a detour on the Giverny to Orly route — it is directly on the way. No other Giverny-to-airport transfer offers this.

How Early to Leave Giverny for Orly — The Complete Timing Guide
Orly is a busy international airport and check-in and security times vary significantly by airline and terminal. Here is the complete Luxberri departure guide from Giverny:
Domestic French flight from Orly Terminal 1–2–3 Air France domestic to Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux, or Nantes. Allow 1h45 at Orly for domestic check-in and security. Depart Giverny at least 3h30 before your flight departure time.
Example: Domestic flight at 2pm. Leave Giverny by 10:30am.
Short-haul European flight — Transavia, Vueling Allow 2 hours at Orly. Depart Giverny at least 3h30 before your flight. Peak summer periods — July and August — add 30 minutes.
North African international flight from Orly Terminal 4 Air Algérie, Royal Air Maroc, Tunisair. Allow 3 hours at Orly Terminal 4 minimum — check-in queues for North African routes can be substantial during peak periods, particularly Friday evenings, Eid travel periods, and summer season.

Early morning Orly flights before 9am Your Luxberri driver is available from 3am for early morning pickups from Giverny and Vernon. The A13 and A86 at 4am or 5am are completely clear — the journey takes under 1 hour. Giverny visitors with morning Orly flights frequently stay a final night in the village and take an early morning transfer — one of the most comfortable departure configurations available.
D-Day anniversary week and peak summer June D-Day commemorations and July–August summer traffic can slow the A13 between Vernon and the Paris ring road. Add 30–45 minutes to your departure calculation during these periods.
Your chauffeur monitors live traffic on the A13 and A86 from the morning of departure and will advise on the optimal Giverny departure time at booking.
Pickup From Every Giverny Address
Your Luxberri chauffeur collects from any address in Giverny and the immediate area:
The Fondation Claude Monet — 84 Rue Claude Monet Your driver waits at the village car park opposite the Fondation entrance. When you are ready to leave the garden — whether after 2 hours or 5 hours — walk to the car park and your driver is waiting. No time pressure, no meter running during your visit.
Le Jardin des Plumes — 1 Rue du Milieu, Giverny The Michelin-starred restaurant in Giverny village where Top Chef 2020 winner David Gallienne serves Norman cuisine. Visitors finishing a full-day Giverny experience with lunch at Le Jardin des Plumes can be collected from the restaurant entrance for a direct Orly transfer. Your driver times arrival to your expected finish time.
L'Ancien Hôtel Baudy — 81 Rue Claude Monet The historic inn that hosted Cézanne, Renoir, and Rodin when visiting Monet. Now a restaurant with a rose garden and 19th-century dining room. Regular Luxberri pickup address for full-day Giverny visitors before an Orly departure.
Giverny village hotels and gîtes Le Clos Fleuri, La Dîme de Giverny, and the Ô Plum'art guesthouse opened by David Gallienne adjacent to his restaurant. Your driver collects from the entrance of any village accommodation.
Vernon — 5 km from Giverny The market town of Vernon on the Seine. Visitors staying in Vernon rather than Giverny village — at the Hôtel d'Évreux, the Normandy Hotel, or any other Vernon property — can be collected for a direct Orly transfer. The Vernon to Orly journey adds approximately 5 minutes to the Giverny time.
Gasny, Pressagny-l'Orgueilleux, Saint-Pierre-d'Autils The surrounding villages and rural addresses within 10 km of Giverny are all valid Luxberri pickup points for the Orly transfer.
The Orly Terminal Guide — Exactly Where Your Driver Drops You
Orly has two terminal buildings. Your driver drops you directly at the kerb of your exact departure terminal. Provide your flight number at booking and we confirm automatically:
Orly Terminal 1–2–3 (previously Orly Ouest) The primary departure terminal for domestic French travellers leaving from Giverny and the Normandy region:
- Air France domestic routes: Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Strasbourg, Montpellier
- Transavia European destinations: Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Greece, Italy
- HOP! regional services
- Vueling from Spain
- Other short-haul European carriers
For visitors flying back to a French regional city after a Giverny or broader Normandy stay, Terminal 1–2–3 is the correct drop-off.
Orly Terminal 4 (previously Orly Sud) The international departure terminal for the most culturally significant audience on the Giverny-to-Orly route:
- Air Algérie: Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Annaba, Tlemcen, Sétif, Béjaïa
- Royal Air Maroc: Casablanca, Marrakech, Fès, Agadir, Tanger, Oujda
- Tunisair: Tunis, Monastir, Sfax, Djerba, Tozeur
- Corsair: Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Mauritius, Dakar
- Air France long-haul international departures
For North African visitors who have come to Giverny — and often to Normandy's D-Day battlefields where Algerian, Moroccan, and Tunisian soldiers served in the liberation of France — the departure from Orly Terminal 4 is the final act of a journey that carries both personal and historical weight. Your Luxberri driver handles the ground connection with the same care and discretion that every transfer receives.
The Versailles Stop — The Unique Advantage of the Giverny to Orly Route
The A86 from the A13 junction to Orly passes the Versailles exit at Rocquencourt — directly west of the Palace. No other Giverny-to-airport route passes Versailles this naturally.
For visitors with an afternoon or evening Orly flight — particularly a 6pm, 7pm, or 8pm departure — the Giverny morning followed by a Versailles afternoon followed by Orly departure is one of the most compelling final France days available. Two of the greatest gardens in France — Monet's Impressionist water garden in the morning, Louis XIV's baroque formal gardens in the afternoon — and a flight home in the evening.
Your Luxberri driver plans the timing around your specific Orly departure. A 7pm flight, for example, allows Giverny from 9:30am to noon, Versailles from 1pm to 4pm, and an Orly Terminal 1–2–3 departure by 6pm with comfortable check-in time. Arrange the full combined itinerary at booking.
Optional Stops — Making the Giverny to Orly Transfer Count
Beyond Versailles, the A13 corridor between Giverny and the A86 junction passes through or near several worthwhile stops for visitors with time before their Orly flight:
Les Andelys and Château Gaillard — 30 minutes from Giverny Richard the Lionheart's ruined hilltop fortress above the Seine — directly on the A13 route. The Seine bend at Les Andelys is one of the most dramatic views in northern France. A 45-minute stop for history travellers with time before an Orly evening flight.
Rouen — 45 minutes from Giverny Normandy's Gothic capital on the Seine. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame, the Gros-Horloge, and the Vieux-Marché. For visitors who did not visit Rouen on their arrival, the return from Giverny toward Orly passes close enough to include a 2-hour Rouen stop before the A86 south to Orly.
Vétheuil — 15 minutes from Giverny The small Seine Valley village where Monet lived from 1878 to 1881, before moving to Giverny. The church of Notre-Dame de Vétheuil, which Monet painted during his time in the village, stands above the river. A 20-minute stop for serious Monet enthusiasts tracing the full arc of his Seine Valley period.
All stops are arranged at booking. Provide your Orly departure time and your preferred addition and your driver plans the optimal timing from Giverny.
