Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Grande Enneille

The drive from Brussels Airport to Grande Enneille

The route covers 112 km (70 miles) and typically takes 1 h 16 m. It leads from Zaventem south-east into the Walloon Ardennes, so the last part of the journey runs through quieter, more wooded country than the start. Grande Enneille is a less frequently booked destination, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush around Brussels, as the first stretch near the capital is where delays usually build up. Winter weather can also slow the final leg in the Ardennes, so a small time buffer is sensible if you have a fixed appointment on arrival.

Choosing the right vehicle

Smaller parties are best served by a private taxi, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. The four-passenger option gives a little more room when everyone has a suitcase.

Larger groups, such as families travelling together, wedding parties or company outings, can choose a private minibus:

• 8 seats for up to 8 passengers
• 16 seats for up to 16 passengers
• 24 seats for up to 24 passengers
• 32 seats for up to 32 passengers
• 40 seats for up to 40 passengers
• 48 seats for up to 48 passengers

Because the ride lasts over an hour, it is worth picking a vehicle with comfortable space for luggage rather than the tightest possible fit.

Grande Enneille and where to stay nearby

Grande Enneille is a small village in the municipality of Durbuy, in the province of Luxembourg, in a region known for the Ourthe valley, walking, canoeing and countryside breaks. The village itself is low-key, so most visitors look for accommodation in the nearby town of Durbuy, which is a short distance away.

Well-established places to stay in Durbuy include:

• Le Sanglier des Ardennes, a long-running hotel and restaurant in the old town
• Le Clos des Récollets, a hotel set in the historic centre

It is a good idea to give your driver the exact address of your accommodation when booking, since smaller village roads can be hard to find.
