Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Mont-Saint-Aubert

The Drive from Zaventem to Mont-Saint-Aubert

The route covers 107 km (67 miles) and typically takes 1 h 12 m. You leave the Brussels ring area and head south-west towards the Walloon province of Hainaut, so the journey moves from the busy airport zone into quieter countryside. Because the first stretch around Brussels can be slow, allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, or in poor weather. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, so a private transfer is a practical way to reach a village that is not on the main tourist circuit.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers is the natural choice. If you travel with several suitcases, the four-seat option gives a little more flexibility. Larger parties can choose a private minibus with 8 or 16 seats, which suits extended families, wedding guests or small business groups. For bigger events, coach-style minibuses with 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats are available, so even a large group can arrive together in one vehicle.

Mont-Saint-Aubert and Where to Stay

Mont-Saint-Aubert is a small village on a hill in the municipality of Tournai, in Wallonia. It is known for its rural setting and for the views over the surrounding landscape. It is a calm place, and most visitors combine it with the nearby city of Tournai, which has a much wider choice of accommodation.

I cannot name well-known long-established hotels in the village itself with confidence, so these are options in the nearest town, Tournai:

• Mercure Tournai, a hotel of an international chain close to the city centre.
• Hôtel Cathédrale, a hotel in the historic centre, within reach of Tournai's cathedral.

Tell your driver the exact address of your accommodation when you book, so the drop-off is planned correctly.
