Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Bon-Secours

The drive from Brussels Airport to Bon-Secours

The route covers 105 km (66 miles) and normally takes around 1 h 12 m. Bon-Secours lies in the west of Hainaut, close to the French border, so most of the journey is spent on motorways heading south-west from Zaventem. Allow extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon peaks around Brussels, since the ring road is the usual bottleneck. Bad weather can also slow the trip. This route is booked less often than the big city transfers, but it is available on request like any other.

Choosing the right vehicle

Couples, solo travellers and small families are well served by a private taxi, with options for up to 3 or up to 4 passengers. Check the luggage you are carrying before choosing the smaller car, because four people with large suitcases can fill a standard taxi quickly.

Larger parties can book a private minibus:

• 8 seats for extended families or small groups with extra luggage
• 16 and 24 seats for wedding parties, clubs and organised tours
• 32, 40 and 48 seats for coach-sized groups, such as pilgrim groups or company outings

About Bon-Secours

Bon-Secours is a small village in the municipality of Péruwelz, right on the border with France. It is best known for its basilica, Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours, a pilgrimage site that draws visitors throughout the year. The surrounding countryside is quiet and green, and the Scheldt Plains Nature Park, which straddles the border, is nearby. Because the village is small, it is worth having the exact address of your final stop ready for the driver.

Meeting Point

Your driver will be waiting at Java Coffee House with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can go straight there once you leave the baggage hall.
