Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Nouzonville

Meeting Point at Brussels Airport

Your driver waits at Java Coffee House holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can meet up without searching the terminal.

The Drive from Zaventem to Nouzonville

The route covers 162 km (101 miles) and typically takes 2 h 4 m. You leave the Brussels area, cross into France and continue into the Ardennes department. The final stretch runs through wooded hills and river valleys, which makes for a calmer ending than the start at the airport.

Allow some extra time if you land during the morning or evening rush, when traffic around Brussels can slow the first part of the trip. Bad weather in the Ardennes can also add a little to the journey in winter. Keep your passport or ID card in your hand luggage, as you are crossing an international border.

Nouzonville is a less frequently booked destination. Your transfer is arranged on request, just like any other route, and the driver takes you straight to your address.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

The vehicle should match your group size and luggage:

• Private Taxi: 1 to 4 passengers, suited to individual travellers, couples and small families.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: 1 to 8 passengers, useful when you carry extra bags or travel with a larger family.
• Private Minibus 16 and 24 Seats: for 1 to 16 or 1 to 24 passengers, such as work teams, clubs or friends travelling together.
• Private Minibus 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for 1 to 32, 1 to 40 or 1 to 48 passengers, which covers larger tour parties, school trips and event groups.

With a long ride of around two hours, it helps to choose a vehicle with a little spare room rather than filling every seat.

About Nouzonville

Nouzonville is a small town in the French Ardennes, set in the valley of the Meuse river. It lies close to Charleville-Mézières, the main city of the area. The surrounding countryside is green and forested, and people come here for walking, cycling and quiet stays close to the Belgian border. Expect a relaxed, rural setting rather than a big tourist centre.
