Orly Airport (ORY) → Honfleur
Orly Airport to Honfleur — Private Transfer to Normandy's Harbour Town
Paris Orly sits south of the capital. Honfleur sits northwest, at the mouth of the Seine estuary where Normandy meets the Channel. Between them: 204 km of motorway that bypasses Paris entirely and delivers you to one of the most painted harbours in France in approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.
Your Luxberri chauffeur meets you in the Orly arrivals hall — Terminal 1–2–3 or Terminal 4. One vehicle from the terminal exit. Luggage loaded. The A86 carries you north from Orly, the A13 heads west through the Seine Valley, and the Pont de Normandie bridge over the Seine estuary announces your arrival in the Calvados. Honfleur is 5 minutes beyond the bridge.

Orly's Unique Route to Honfleur — Via Versailles
Unlike CDG — which uses the A104 ring road north of Paris — Orly's route to Honfleur uses the A86 southwest to northwest, passing the Versailles junction before joining the A13 Normandy motorway. This means the Palace of Versailles is directly on the route. For passengers with a late afternoon Honfleur check-in, a Versailles stop is a natural addition — two of France's most extraordinary places, visited on the same day without a detour.

Optional Stops — Orly to Honfleur via Normandy
Versailles — on the A86/A13 junction route from Orly. The most natural en-route stop on the Orly to Honfleur corridor. Passengers with afternoon or evening Honfleur check-ins can visit the Palace of Versailles in the morning before the transfer continues northwest. Add 2–3 hours.
Giverny — Claude Monet's legendary water garden, directly on the A13 between the Paris ring road and Normandy. Add 1.5 hours. Giverny and Honfleur in a single day is the most popular Impressionist Normandy itinerary.
Rouen — Normandy's Gothic capital, approximately halfway between Orly and Honfleur on the A13. The Cathedral that Monet painted 30 times and the medieval Old Marketplace. Add 2 hours.
Étretat — the famous chalk sea cliffs, 30 minutes north of Honfleur. A natural coastal extension for passengers with afternoon Honfleur check-ins and morning time to spare.
All stops arranged at booking.
Honfleur — Why Painters Came Here
Honfleur has no railway station and never had one. This preserved the old town from the development that modernised other Normandy ports — the Vieux Bassin, the Lieutenance tower, the narrow streets of the Vieux Honfleur, and the wooden houses on the Quai Sainte-Catherine are unchanged from the 17th and 18th centuries. Boudin was born in 1824 in a street two minutes from the harbour. Monet came here as a young man to paint beside him. What they painted — the light on the water, the reflections in the basin, the slate roofs and the fishing boats — is still there.
The transfer from Orly to Honfleur delivers you to that unchanged harbour in 2 hours 10 minutes from the arrivals terminal. No train station. No connection. No final taxi through an unfamiliar town. Your Luxberri driver drops you at the quayside or the hotel entrance, and Honfleur begins.
