One last OT comment:
17 euro (online/machine/onboard price may vary a bit; hour+; very traffic affected) + likely 1.4 euro metro/bus ticket from drop-off point.

vs 10 euro (and chip+pin card required for ticket machine or add an hour or more for ticket line!) for RER (30 min)

vs 2.8 euro (via carnet 10 pack or 3.6 for 2 single t+ tkts) [nice] CIF bus #93 from terminal 3 (30 min; min traffic affected) to Bobigny – Pablo Picasso M5 then (25 min) to city center/Gare du Nord (easy!)

From Orly there is the 2013 completed T7 Tram line to the end of M7 Villejuif - also only 2 t+ tickets to most anywhere in Paris - very relaxing compared to 12 euro Orlyval and (likely) ticket line delays if not chip card! It's a bit of a stroll (inside) to t7 boarding area but no (or maybe one set of) stairs. about 1h20m (2x as long as Orlyval)?
