Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Izier

The Drive from Brussels Zaventem to Izier

The route covers 528 km (329 miles) and typically takes 5 h 15 m without long stops. It is a long-distance journey, so it helps to plan around the day rather than treat it like a short hop. Allow extra time if you travel on a Friday afternoon, at the start or end of school holidays, or during summer weekends, when the main motorways are busiest. Because the trip is a long one, a private transfer lets you stay seated with your luggage the whole way, without changing at stations or waiting for connections.

This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Booking ahead gives the driver time to plan the journey properly.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Smaller groups can choose between a private taxi for 1-3 passengers and one for 1-4 passengers. The second suits a family or a party with a little more luggage. Larger parties can book a private minibus with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats, so everything from a group of friends to a full coach-sized party can travel together. Over more than five hours, extra legroom and luggage space make a real difference, so pick the next size up if you are close to a limit.

About Izier and Where to Stay

Izier is a small village, so expect a quiet, rural setting rather than a busy tourist centre. Most visitors who want a wider choice of hotels stay in Dijon, the nearest larger town, and travel from there.

• Grand Hôtel La Cloche – a long-established hotel in central Dijon, close to Place Darcy.
• Hostellerie du Chapeau Rouge – a well-known traditional hotel and restaurant in the city centre.

If you have booked a private holiday rental or a stay with friends or family in the village, give the driver the exact address in advance, since small-village roads can be hard to find.

Meeting Point
