Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Montreuil

The drive from Brussels Airport to Montreuil

Montreuil lies 312 km (194 miles) from Brussels Zaventem Airport, and the drive normally takes around 3 h 23 m. The route leaves Belgium and continues into northern France, so it is a long single leg that is best done door to door without changes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time if you land during the Brussels rush hour, on a busy holiday weekend or in poor weather, as any of these can add to the journey. For a trip of this length, a short comfort stop on the way is also worth considering.

Choosing the right vehicle

The Private Taxi suits one to four passengers with their luggage. Groups of up to eight can book a Private Minibus 8 Seats, which gives more room for suitcases on a three-hour journey. For larger parties, such as families travelling together, wedding guests, school trips or tour groups, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 seats. Pick the size that matches your headcount, with some space left over for bags.

Montreuil and where to stay

Montreuil, often called Montreuil-sur-Mer, is a small walled town in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France. It is known for its ramparts, its cobbled streets and its link to Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables. It is a quiet place suited to a slow stay rather than a busy city break.

• Château de Montreuil: a well-known hotel and restaurant just off the old town centre.
• Les Hauts de Montreuil: a long-standing hotel in the town, popular with visitors exploring the area.
