Removals from Battersea to France
France is the move our international arm makes most often from Battersea — a Paris apartment, a house in the south-west, a business heading to Lyon. We plan it from your SW11 door to the French one.
A move from Battersea to France is a house move with a border in the middle, and the border is the part most firms underestimate. We treat the SW11 end exactly as we would any premium Battersea move — surveyed, packed and protected — then carry it overland on a planned route with a crew used to the crossing and the paperwork.
Whether it is a mansion flat's worth of furniture bound for Paris or a full house heading south, we scope the job around what is being moved and where it is going, and we keep you informed at each stage rather than leaving you guessing.
The Battersea-to-France route
We load in SW11 and leave London on the A3 and the South Circular (A205) to join the M25, then run down the M20 or M2 to the Kent coast — crossing by ferry from Dover or on the Eurotunnel shuttle at Folkestone. From Calais the French autoroute network opens up: the A1 to Paris, the A26 toward the east, or the long haul south on the A10 toward Bordeaux and Provence. The exact routing depends on your destination and any consolidation.
Where in France we move
- Paris & Île-de-France Apartment moves, courtyard access and lift logistics handled.
- Nouvelle-Aquitaine Bordeaux and the south-west — a favourite for family relocations.
- Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Lyon and the business corridor to the east.
- Occitanie & Provence Toulouse, Montpellier and the Mediterranean south.
The paperwork for a French move
Since Brexit, a move to France means a customs declaration and an inventory for your household goods, and returning residents may qualify for relief on used personal effects. We explain plainly what is needed, help you prepare the documentation and coordinate clearance so nothing sits stuck at the border. Timings depend on the route, the crossing and customs — your written quote sets out the process, not a day count.

- A short, well-worn crossing that keeps a France move straightforward
