Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Forges

The Drive from Charleroi Airport to Forges

The route covers 70 km (44 miles) and typically takes 58 minutes. Most of the journey runs south through Hainaut, and the final stretch passes through quieter countryside near the French border. Forges is not one of our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request just like any other route. Allow some extra time in winter, when fog or ice can slow the rural roads, and during the weekday rush hours around Charleroi.

Choosing the Right Vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. We offer one version for up to 3 passengers and another for up to 4, so check the luggage you are carrying before you pick. Groups that exceed the taxi limit can book a private minibus. The range starts at 8 seats and continues in steps of 8 through 16, 24, 32, 40, 48 and 56, up to 64 seats. Wedding parties, company teams, pilgrimage groups and sports clubs all fit within this range. Pick the size that gives everyone room for their bags, and your group arrives together without splitting up.

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.

About Forges

Forges is a small village in the Chimay area of Hainaut, in the south of Wallonia close to the French border. The region is known for its forests, rolling farmland and quiet roads. The Trappist beers of Chimay are a major draw for visitors, and the Scourmont Abbey where they are brewed lies nearby. Expect a peaceful rural setting rather than a busy town centre. Have the exact street address or the name of your accommodation ready, as some places in the area are tucked away on small lanes.
