Thiais–Orly station is an underground station on Line 14 of the Paris Métro. It is part of the Grand Paris Express project. The station is located in the town of Thiais, on the outskirts of Orly Airport. It opened on 24 June 2024 as part of the southern extension of Line 14 from to Aéroport d'Orly.[1] [2]
Located south of the RER C tracks and north of Avenue du Docteur-Marie, the station was built along a north–south axis.[3] [4] Opened in 2024, it connects with the RER C's existing Pont de Rungis–Aéroport d'Orly station.
The station occupies a former car park used by Air France. Passengers access the station through a building constructed above the underground station. This building houses the entrance hall, ticketing office, fare gates, bicycle parking, and local services. The north access to the station connects to the RER C platforms. The east access building has connections to local buses.
Line 14 platforms are approximately 26 meters deep. The entire station is fully accessible for people with reduced mobility.
The design consortium includes engineering firms SETEC and SYSTRA, alongside architecture firm Valode & Pistre.[5] [6] Artist Lyes Hammadouche created an artwork for the station in collaboration with architect Denis Valode.
Originally named Pont de Rungis, the station's name sparked controversy. Several mayors in Val-de-Marne disagreed with the chosen names for three stations, including this one, arguing they didn't reflect their actual locations.[7] In September 2022, the station was officially renamed Thiais - Orly, with Pont de Rungis remaining as a subtitle.[8]
