Orly

Orly (French pronunciation: [ɔʁli] ) is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, Île-de-France. It is located 12.7 km (7.9 mi) from the center of Paris.

The name of Orly came from Latin Aureliacum, "the villa of Aurelius".

Orly Airport partially lies on the territory of the commune of Orly, which gave its name to the airport.

Orly experienced significant growth in the late 1950s. There was an urgent need to house poor families living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. Orly responded to Abbé Pierre's call in 1954. It was also intended to house the immigrant workers arriving en masse in the Paris region.

Orly is served by two stations on Paris RER line C: Les Saules and Orly-Ville.

Schools in Orly:

Lycée Guillaume Apollinaire, a senior high/sixth-form in Thiais; and Lycée Georges Brassens, a senior high/sixth-form in Villeneuve-le-Roi, are nearby.
