Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Merbes-Sainte-Marie

The drive from CRL to Merbes-Sainte-Marie

The route covers 40 km (25 miles) and typically takes about 34 minutes. Charleroi Airport is in Hainaut, and so is Merbes-Sainte-Marie, so the trip stays within the same province and the same French-speaking part of Belgium. Most of the journey is on regional roads, and the last stretch passes through quiet countryside.

Allow a little extra time during the weekday morning and late afternoon peaks around Charleroi, or in bad winter weather. If you have a connection or an appointment shortly after landing, add a buffer to the 34-minute estimate.
