Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Denée

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Denée

The route covers 38 km (24 miles) and typically takes about 33 minutes. It leads south from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) through the Walloon countryside towards the Namur province. Denée is a less frequently booked destination, but a transfer is available on request just like on any other route. Allow some extra time during the morning and evening rush hours, in heavy rain or in winter conditions, as country roads near the end of the trip can be slower than the main roads.

Meeting Point at Charleroi Airport

Your driver waits at the Starbucks with a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

Small parties of one to three or one to four travellers are well served by a private taxi. For bigger groups, the minibus range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps of 8 up to 64 seats. This suits families with heavy luggage, wedding parties, company teams and groups heading to a retreat or event in the area. Tell us your group size and the amount of luggage when you book, and we will assign the matching vehicle.

Denée and Where to Stay

Denée is a small village in the municipality of Anhée, in the province of Namur. It lies in the Molignée valley, and it is best known for Maredsous Abbey, the Benedictine abbey whose name is also linked to the well-known Belgian cheese and beer. The surroundings are green and quiet, with walking and cycling routes nearby. Because the village is small, the choice of accommodation is limited.

• Maredsous Abbey guesthouse in Denée: the abbey offers guest accommodation, popular with visitors seeking a calm stay.
• Hôtel Castel de Pont-à-Lesse in nearby Dinant: a longer-established hotel for those who prefer a larger town with more restaurants and sights.

Check availability early if you plan to travel in summer or on a weekend, and give your driver the exact address of your accommodation so the final stretch goes smoothly.
