Coming to Lille:










From Paris-Orly Airport to Paris-Gare du Nord (<90mn)
Take the subway "Orlyval", get off at Antony. Then take the metro RER-Line B to Gare du Nord (alternative solution: take a bus "Orlybus" to Paris, get off at "Denfert-Rochereau" in Paris and then

From Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport directly to Lille (50mn)
There is also a TGV line going directly from Roissy airport to Lille. This is shorter and easier, but there are fewer trains than from Paris-Gare du Nord.

If you are arriving at the station Lille Europe: the simplest way is to catch the metro at the train station Lille Flandres and then to proceed as above.
