During September, I had seen an AF promotion for flights in France and Europe from €40 per trip, so I find flights at times that suit me more or less and will only have to add a few euros for seat reservation.
The car park is reserved at Orly as well as the rental of a car in Nice with Hertz.
Routing will be very simple.

Nice NCE - Paris ORY - Air France - Airbus A320 - EconomyComing soon
direction orly airport
I have reserved in the Orly 2 car park which avoids the slowdown at the entrance to the zone 3 drop-off point.
Not very easy to find the parking.
Level -1 is full, level - 2 and -3 closed, I park on level - 4
Take a lift to departure level
The companies return to their original terminals but you still have to show proof of flight to enter the terminal.
to the airport
Exit in Orly 1 near Iberia counters.
Now walking to gates C
Access to hall B is still closed.
A lot of shops remain closed.
But, the security check giving access to doors C is open, no need to go through Hall 3 anymore.
Somme people on the place.
Especially for the AF-KLM low cost Transavia.
If you want to check in a bag, it's here.
This way is closed for me, i have to go back.
This way is the good way.
I go quickly through security check.
Eating before flying, i have no accès to lounge.
Now i have to go to C gates.
Here we are, this part of the airport is much less pleasant than the new terminal building.
Her is my flight's door, I think that it should not be full.
Bird is pretty here.
I think i saw a Pffuddycat!
Yes, i did see a Puddycat.
Now we have to flight.
I'm arriving just as zone 5 boarding begins.

But i have no checked lugage.
So i go to car rental center.
To Hertz counter, no waiting, my car is ready and car is upgrade. The team is very professional and very friendly, the car is almost new, I received the details and the support sheet by email. Direction the city of Grasse.

zoom on departure and aproach.
Thank you forflying with me, the natural IFE offered us beautiful landscapes and see you soon for the outbound flight to Paris.
An excelent value for money, it is true that I had taken it early but it is pleasant to fly with AF at the price of a low cost. Refurbished plane with Wifi available, I have the "shrimp" on the winglets. Snack that has the merit of existing and Air France Play application for reading. Friendly and professional flight attendants, few people on the plane, everything to make the flight enjoyable.
ORY, The gradual return to old facilities is not rewarding. Few people on the road but it's Saturday so we can consider that it's normal. Like CDG, no efficient public transport connection. Still many shops closed which does not brighten the passage in the terminal. Passage of the PIF of the C gates fast.
NCE quick exit without luggage to retrieve, the car rental center is within reach, the connection to Nice and the other surrounding cities by tram or bus is very practical.
3 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
Thanks for sharing! It's nice to see USB on most of the Métropole fleet now, though it would have been nice if they just changed out those Recaro seats altogether when they refurbished the interiors. I hope they redid the padding because the seats were already hard years ago last time I flew on one with these seats. Good thing the flight was mostly empty so Sylvester got his own seat!
