Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Profondeville

The drive from CRL to Profondeville

The route covers 35 km (22 miles) and usually takes around 31 minutes. It is an occasionally booked transfer, so a private car is often the most practical way to reach the Meuse valley directly from the terminal. Allow some extra time during weekday rush hours, in bad weather, or if you have a tight appointment at the other end. Your driver monitors the situation and will take the most sensible route on the day.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside the airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find after you have collected your luggage, so you can walk over without searching around the arrivals area.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice, available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. When you have more people or more luggage, a private minibus with 8 seats is the next step. For bigger parties such as wedding guests, school trips or company events, minibuses are also available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. Pick the size by the number of passengers and the amount of luggage you bring.

About Profondeville

Profondeville is a municipality in the province of Namur, in Wallonia, set along the River Meuse south of the provincial capital. The area is known for its green valley scenery, riverside roads and wooded hills, which makes it popular for walks, cycling and quiet weekends away. The setting is more rural than urban, so it helps to give your driver the exact address when booking.

Places to stay nearby

I cannot name well-established hotels in Profondeville itself with confidence, so here are two well-known options in neighbouring Namur, a short drive away:

• Château de Namur – a hotel in a historic setting near the Citadel.
• Les Tanneurs de Namur – a hotel in the old town centre.

Both are practical bases if you plan to explore Namur and the Meuse valley, and your driver can drop you at either one on request.
