Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Villeneuve-d’Ascq

The drive from Brussels Airport to Villeneuve-d’Ascq

The route covers 127 km (79 miles) and typically takes 1 h 26 m. It leads from Zaventem across the Belgian border into northern France. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other. Allow extra time during weekday rush hours around Brussels and on busy holiday weekends, when border-area traffic can slow things down. Keep your passports or ID cards within easy reach, as you are travelling between two countries.

About Villeneuve-d’Ascq

Villeneuve-d’Ascq lies just east of Lille in the Métropole Européenne de Lille. It was formed in 1970 by merging the communes of Ascq, Annappes and Flers. The town is known for the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, the LaM modern art museum and the university campus of the Cité Scientifique. Many visitors come for a match, an event or a university visit, and a direct transfer saves you from changing transport with luggage.
