Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Essey-lès-Nancy

The drive from Brussels Airport to Essey-lès-Nancy

The transfer covers 332 km (207 miles) and typically takes 3 h 33 m door to door. It is a long cross-border journey from Belgium into eastern France, so it is best treated as a single comfortable leg without changes. Allow extra time if you travel during rush hour around Brussels or on busy holiday weekends, since traffic can add to the typical driving time. This route is booked less often than the major ones, but it is available on request like any other.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House in Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU), holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage. Head there directly and your driver will take it from there.

Choosing the right vehicle

A longer trip makes space and legroom more important, so pick a vehicle with some room to spare.

• Private Taxi: for 1 to 4 passengers with standard luggage.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for families or small groups with extra bags.
• Private Minibus 16 Seats and 24 Seats: for business teams, clubs or larger family gatherings.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for tour groups, conference delegates and big organised events.

All options are private, so the vehicle is yours alone for the whole journey.

Essey-lès-Nancy and where to stay

Essey-lès-Nancy is a commune in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department of Lorraine, on the eastern edge of the city of Nancy. It is a mostly residential and practical place, known in part for the small Nancy-Essey airfield. Most visitors come to stay in or around Nancy itself.

I cannot confidently name long-established hotels in Essey-lès-Nancy itself, so here are two well-known ones in the nearest city, Nancy:

• Grand Hôtel de la Reine, a historic hotel on Place Stanislas, the city's famous central square.
• Hôtel d'Haussonville, a hotel in the old town, close to the Palais Ducal.

Tell us your exact address when booking, and the driver will take you directly there.
