Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Houyet

The drive from Charleroi to Houyet

The route covers 84 km (52 miles) and usually takes around 57 minutes. You leave the Charleroi area and head south-east into the province of Namur, where the road gradually moves from urban surroundings to the wooded hills and valleys at the edge of the Ardennes. Houyet is not one of our most frequently booked routes, but it is available on request like any other, so it is best to arrange it in advance.

Allow some extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush hour, in heavy rain, or in winter. Secondary roads in the Ardennes foothills can be slower in poor weather than the usual journey time suggests.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends on the size of your group and how much luggage you carry:

• Private Taxi: for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, a good fit for couples, families and small groups of friends.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: for 1-8 passengers with extra luggage space.
• Private Minibus 16 to 64 Seats: available in steps of eight seats (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 and 64) for tour parties, clubs, wedding guests and other larger groups.

If you are unsure which option suits you, count your passengers and larger bags and choose the next size up for more comfort.

About Houyet

Houyet is a small municipality in the province of Namur, in Wallonia. It lies in the valley of the river Lesse, a landscape known for green countryside, walking routes and kayaking on the river. Visitors usually come for the quiet surroundings and outdoor activities rather than for city sightseeing, so it helps to confirm your exact drop-off address before you travel.
