Getting there

Planes

Luxembourg Airport is 65km away (about an hour’s drive) over the border, and receives daily direct flights from London City, Heathrow and Gatwick. Transfers can occasionally be arranged. Brussels Airport is a little further (75km) – the journey takes about two hours by car. There’s a private airport, Charleville-Mézières, 25 minutes away, where charter flights and helicopters can touch down.

Trains

Florenville, in Belgium, is 5km from Williers and its station is on the Brussels–Luxembourg line, taking just under three hours from Brussels, where you can hop on and off the Eurostar direct to London. Carignan, 10km away, is 2½ hours from Paris, with a change at Charleville-Mézières.

Automobiles

Although it’s just about possible to get around without one, a car will be invaluable in negotiating the rural roads of the Ardennes, and there’s plenty of free parking at Chez Odette. You can easily hire wheels at both Luxembourg and Brussels airports.
