Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bois-De-Villers

The drive from Brussels Airport to Bois-De-Villers

The route covers 78 km (48 miles) and typically takes 1 h 1 m by road. That figure assumes normal traffic. The Brussels ring and the approach roads towards Namur can slow down considerably at weekday rush hours, so allow some extra time if you have a fixed appointment or a connection to make. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request just like any other, and your driver takes you straight to the door without stops or changes.

Choosing the right vehicle

For couples, solo travellers and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Larger parties with suitcases are better off in a private minibus. Eight-seat and 16-seat minibuses suit family gatherings or small business groups. For wedding guests, tour parties or company outings, minibuses are available with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Count your luggage as well as your passengers when choosing.

About Bois-De-Villers

Bois-De-Villers is a small village in the municipality of Profondeville, in the province of Namur in Wallonia. The setting is green and rural, in the countryside close to the Meuse valley. It is a quiet place rather than a tourist centre, so it is worth confirming your exact address with the driver before arrival.

Where to stay nearby

I cannot confidently name long-established hotels in Bois-De-Villers itself, so here are two well-known ones in the nearest larger town, Namur:

• Hôtel Château de Namur, a hotel housed in a castle-style building near the Citadel.
• Les Tanneurs de Namur, a hotel in the old town, close to the centre.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet your driver without any searching.
