Sue s notes: EasyJet (easyjet.com) fly from Paris CDG to Liverpool. Air France (airfrance.com) and British Airways (ba.com) also have cheap fares but fly from Paris CDG to Manchester. A quick search suggests that London is the only UK airport you can fly to from Orly.
Gerald s notes: a quick search shows Paris - Manchester return flights for about 175 euros starting on 25 November 2004. Another possibility is Eurostar to London and then train to Manchester.
