Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Vresse-sur-semois

The drive from CRL to Vresse-sur-Semois

The route covers 122 km (76 miles) and typically takes 1 h 30 m. You leave the Charleroi area and head south-east into the Ardennes, where the roads become quieter and more winding as you approach the Semois valley. Allow a little extra time in winter or in heavy rain, since the last stretch runs through hilly, wooded countryside. If you have a connection or an event to reach on arrival, build in a modest buffer rather than planning to the minute.

Meeting Point

Your driver waits at the Starbucks inside Brussels South Charleroi Airport, holding a personalised name sign. The spot is easy to find once you have collected your luggage, so you can go there straight from the baggage hall.

Choosing the right vehicle

The vehicle depends mainly on how many people are travelling and how much luggage they have. For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the simplest option, with versions for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers. Groups of up to 8 can use an 8-seat private minibus, which also gives more room for bags, hiking gear or bicycles.

For larger parties such as clubs, wedding guests or company outings, minibuses are available with 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. When you book, tell us the exact number of passengers and any bulky luggage, so we can match the vehicle to your group.

About Vresse-sur-Semois

Vresse-sur-Semois is a small municipality in the Belgian Ardennes, in the province of Namur and close to the French border. It sits in the valley of the Semois river, a landscape of forested hills and tight river bends. The area is known for walking, kayaking on the river and quiet countryside stays, and the Semois valley has a long history of tobacco growing. Villages in the municipality are spread out, so it helps to have your exact address or accommodation name ready when you book, so the driver can take you to the door.
