Fortunately the French air traffic controllers suspended their strike and I departed on time from Bijaia, Algeria to Paris Orly. I landed before the schedule. Before evening low-cost flight to Gdansk I had enough time to refresh my memories of Paris. How to get from Orly do the center on a cheap. Tourist info desk in the airport suggests new metro line 14. One way ticket costs… 16 euro! Oh, no! I followed my previous route: tram 7 from ORLY4 terminal will take you to Villejuif-Luis Aragon metro station (2 euro for rechargable transport card+2,50 one ride. Then you can get regular metro line 7 to the center for another 2,50. But allow a lot of time!
I went to Chatelet subway station – just 150 m to Notre Dame Cathedral. Then, enjoying lovely weather I walked with my backpack to Pont Neuf, Louvre, Concorde Square and all long Champs Elyses to the Etoile. Do you know that they are charging now 16 euro to enter bottom of the Arc de Triomphe?
Later I took metro line 13 to the Saint Denis University end to board aerobus to Beauvais airport. In the late evening I landed happy and satisfied in my Gdansk. This was the end of one more interesting voyage!
