Warwickshire to France
France is the move we run most often out of Warwickshire — second-home owners in the Dordogne, families settling near Toulouse, retirees drawn to the light of the Lot and Provence. We handle the load, the paperwork and the long drive so you can arrive to an empty house and start unpacking.
01
Some are buying a stone longère to restore; some are moving a whole family and a workshop; plenty are taking a lifetime of a Stratford home to a village they have holidayed in for years. We pack to the standard the drive demands — French rural roads are hard on a poorly loaded lorry — and we label by room so the far end makes sense the moment the doors open.
02
Post-Brexit, a move to France means a customs inventory and the right declaration for personal effects. We prepare the documentation with you, list your goods properly, and brief you on what the French side will expect. Nothing about the process is left for you to guess at — we tell you what we need and when, well ahead of the drive.
03
We collect from your door in Stratford or the surrounding villages, cross via the tunnel or ferry, and deliver to the address you give us — whether that is an apartment in Bordeaux or a farmhouse down a track in the Aveyron. Transit timing depends on the route, the crossing and the delivery point; your written quote sets out the expected window once we have the details.
Yes. Many of our France deliveries are to hamlets and farmhouses where the "address" is a lieu-dit rather than a numbered street. Tell us how the driver should find it — landmarks, the nearest village, a phone number for the day — and we plan around it. Free-text pickup and drop-off on our quote form is deliberate for exactly this reason.
Both. If you are furnishing a second home you may only be sending a room or two, in which case your goods travel consolidated with other moves on the same route. A full household relocation can take a dedicated load. We will recommend which suits your move when we quote.
Our base and our local knowledge are in Stratford-upon-Avon, but the France corridor runs from across the Midlands and beyond — we regularly collect from Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick and further afield on the way south. Tell us your pickup point and we will factor it in.
