Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Fontenoy

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Fontenoy

The route covers 86 km (54 miles) and usually takes about 56 minutes. Fontenoy is a less frequently requested destination, but the transfer is arranged like any other: you tell us your arrival details and the driver takes you straight to your address in the village, with no connections or timetables to plan around.

Allow some extra time if you travel during the weekday morning or late-afternoon rush, or in bad weather, as Belgian regional roads can slow down quickly. If you are heading from Fontenoy back to the airport for an early departure, it is sensible to leave with a comfortable buffer for check-in and security.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on how many people and how much luggage you bring:

• Private Taxi (1-3 passengers) or Private Taxi (1-4 passengers) for solo travellers, couples, families and small groups.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats for groups of up to 8 with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 Seats for bigger parties such as tour groups, wedding guests, school trips or event delegations.

If you travel with bulky items such as sports equipment or several large suitcases, choose the next size up so everyone has room.

About Fontenoy

Fontenoy is a small village in the Hainaut province of Wallonia, in the Tournai area. It is best known for the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745, fought during the War of the Austrian Succession, and the surrounding countryside is quiet and rural. Visitors usually come for the battlefield history, for family visits or for a peaceful stay in the Walloon countryside rather than for big-city sights. Please give your driver the exact address, since a village this size can have several similarly named streets.

Meeting Point
