Charles de Gaulle or Paris Orly Airport?

Question

Can someone please tell me which airport is nearer to the Eiffel tower? And if you can, please tell me how many minutes for us to get to the tower from each of these two airports.

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

It doesn't really matter. The travel time is about the same from either airport. See my answer to your other post on this question for detailed directions and timing.

Answer 2

I think Charles de Gaulle.

Answer 3

Well, as the crow flies, Orly is closer to the Eiffel Tower. If you'll be in a taxi, you'll get there faster from Orly.

However, if you're using public transportation (RER and Metro trains) to get to the Tower from the airports, it won't make much of a difference. It'll take you about an hour and five minutes from Orly or an hour and 10 minutes from Charles de Gaulle.
