A brief history of Orly Airport
Orly Airport opened in 1932 to commercial air traffic but was turned into a military base by the occupying German forces during WWII. The airport was heavily damaged by bombing, which caused it to be rebuilt after the war. It then grew so rapidly that in 1947, a third runway was built. By 1952, Orly Airport was used by more than 1 million passengers every year.
In 1961, a new terminal was inaugurated by the French president, General Charles de Gaulle. The following year, the airport's visitor numbers exceeded that of the Palace of Versailles. The first-ever jumbo jet, Pan Am's Boeing 747, landed at Orly Airport in 1969. Most of Paris's air traffic moved to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in 1974, but Orly has remained vital as the city's second airport.
What are the highlights and features of Orly Airport?
Orly Airport has an ever-changing collection of art decorating its walls, and previous exhibitions have included panoramic frescoes of Parisian landmarks, portraits of famous French musicians, and offbeat photographs of life in Paris. In Terminal 4, a quiet reading area offers electronic newspapers and magazines in several languages. There are around 100 paper books for kids that feature beloved characters like Noddy and Hello Kitty.
All 4 terminals have retro 1980s-style gaming areas that are all completely free. You can play arcade games, vintage table games, and classic favourites like Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Tetris. Shops and cafes tend towards French classics, giving you an excellent opportunity to pick up delicious and colourful boxes of macarons at Ladurée, millefeuille and chocolate eclairs at Paul, or artisan loaves at bakery chain Kayser. There's also an airport bar and a duty-free shop.
