Bonjour!
We'll be flying into CDG via CX from HK on Sept. 12 and are arriving 6:30 AM, looking to fly directly to Lourdes for a pilgrimage overnight stop before beginning our Parisian week. AF has a 9:10 flight into Lourdes-Tarbes from Orly (next flight is 4:15). Will that be enough time for us to transfer and check-in?
Any comments/suggestions appreciated. Merci Beaucoup!

Yes you will have enough time if you take the 4.15 pm flight :D
Seriously, sept 12 is a monday, everybody will be back from holidays and road from CDG to ORY will be packed with cars...
If you only have carry on it should be ok.
If you have to wait for your checked luggage and clearing immigration take a bit of time, it could be risky...
Maybe some others posters will give you different views, but i will not try it although you can surely make it.

I share Mynameismud's appraisal:
I would not try the 9:10 flight. In any case, on a single ticket, I don't think AF will accept it as a legal connection.
On separate tickets, if you are extremely lucky, it could be done, if your incoming flight is on time, if there are no long queues at immigration in CDG 2A, if you have no checked luggage to retrieve and take the RER. The latest check-in time at ORY is 20mn.

Thanks for all the insight. I decided not to risk it and moved our Lourdes trip one day later, so we get a night's rest as well. Will leave most of our luggage at the hotel concierge ( IC Legrand) if we can as we will be going back to the same hotel after our Lourdes overnight. Is this safe? Heard so many theft horror stories.
