Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Floreffe

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Floreffe

Floreffe lies 32 km (20 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the drive typically takes around 28 minutes. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request just like any other, so a driver can be arranged for your arrival time. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, in heavy rain or in winter conditions, when traffic around Charleroi and Namur can slow down. If you have a connecting appointment shortly after landing, it is sensible to build in a margin for baggage reclaim as well.

Which vehicle suits your group

For individual travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest choice, with options for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. If you travel with more people or a lot of luggage, private minibuses start at 8 seats and go up in steps to 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats. This range covers anything from a family holiday to a wedding party, a company outing or a pilgrimage group heading for the area. Just pick the size that matches your passenger count when booking and the rest is arranged for you.

About Floreffe

Floreffe is a small municipality in the province of Namur, in Wallonia, set in the Sambre valley between Charleroi and Namur. It is best known for Floreffe Abbey, a Norbertine abbey with origins in the twelfth century that dominates the village and draws visitors for its architecture and its setting. The surrounding countryside is green and gently hilly, which makes it popular for walks and quiet weekends away. Because the village is small, it is useful to have the exact street address or the name of your accommodation ready when you book, so the driver can take you right to the door.
