Where can I buy flowers at Paris (ORY/CDG) Airport?

Accepted answer

The delivery option mentioned in comments sounds doubtful. As a French, between the notorious lack of service in Paris (and most of France anyway), the language issue, and the lack of a fixed address, I don't see an Interflora driver even bothering... I've used Interflora, while living abroad, to send flowers to my mom, to her home, and getting them to guarantee a delivery on the right day (her birthday), even planning in advance, was hard enough.

Since you have four hours, I would recommend this:

  • From ORY take a bus to Montparnasse ("Le Bus Direct" Line 1)
  • In Montparnasse buy some flowers.
  • Get on Le Bus Direct Line 4 to CDG
  • Meet the wife.

UPDATE:
Here is what I actually did: I just bought it from my starting city before I reached airport, asked the Trader Joe employee to cut the stems & make the bunch shorter; just put it into the carry on suitcase. On arrival after about 7 hours, they were fine.

==================================

I have accepted @dda's answer, and here in this I am just documenting what I found from Google, based on his suggestions:

  1. Landing at ORY Airport to Montparnasse
  2. Line 01 ORY to Montparnasse (20-30 Minutes Duration, 20 Minutes frequency, Single Ticket (Billet Simple) EUR 10/-
  3. Buy Flowers Montparnasse (Flowers in French Fleurs)
  4. Board Line 04 Montparnasse to CDG (70-80 Minutes Duration, 30 Minutes frequency, Single Ticket EUR 17/-)

Total Time (Minutes):

  • 30 - Line 01 ORY to Montparnasse
  • 30 - Buy Flowers
  • 80 - Line 04 Montparnasse to CDG
  • 30 - Frequency (Might miss one with just a minute) OR Breather

Total About 3 Hours At Most. It will be kind of race from the moment I am landside at ORY.

Also, the easiest no frills but unromantic option will be to not to do this & just Board Line 03, Direct from ORY to CDG (1 Hour 20 Minutes).
