PART-LOAD REMOVALS TO FRANCE

France is one of our most-travelled routes, and we've refined every aspect of the journey over more than 13 years. Gentlevan Removals operates a purpose-built road train for European routes, giving us far greater carrying capacity — in both weight and volume — than the luton vans or smaller vehicles used by many competitors. Where other services cap out at around 1,000 kg, we can handle full household loads including heavy items like pianos, gym equipment, and antique furniture.

France also presents unique access challenges — from the tight alleyways of Provençal villages and Parisian courtyards to remote countryside properties on narrow lanes. That's why we carry a transhipment vehicle on the lorry as standard. When our main vehicle can't get close enough, we transfer your belongings into the smaller van and complete the delivery ourselves. No third-party handoffs, no excuses.

• Part-load collections from anywhere in the UK — we come to your door, not a depot.
• Transhipment vehicle on board — we reach narrow village streets and rural lanes others can't.
• No weight cap surprises — we handle large, heavy loads without additional charges.
• The same quality of care as a dedicated lorry, at a significantly lower price.

We cover the full length and breadth of France on our regular UK–France routes. Whether you're relocating to the capital, the Atlantic coast, the French Alps, or the rural south, our part-load service delivers door to door. Our extensive coverage includes:

• Paris and Île-de-France — including inner arrondissements and surrounding suburbs
• Brittany and Normandy — popular with UK buyers seeking coastal and rural properties
• Dordogne, Lot, and Corrèze — the classic expat heartland of southwest France
• Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur — including Nice, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence and the Var
• Languedoc-Roussillon — Montpellier, Nîmes, Perpignan and surrounding villages
• Bordeaux, Lyon, Toulouse, Strasbourg and all other major cities
• Rural and remote addresses — our transhipment vehicle handles lanes and restricted access with ease

Can't see your area listed? Just ask — we cover the whole of mainland France and can arrange collection from anywhere in the UK.

Moving back to the UK from France? Gentlevan Removals operates part-load removals from France to the UK on the same scheduled routes — in reverse. Whether you're returning permanently after years as an expat, clearing a French holiday home, or simply bringing back a consignment of belongings you left behind, we offer the same cost-effective shared-load service with exactly the same level of care and professionalism.

Our France-to-UK part-load service covers all major French cities and regions including Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille, and the Dordogne. We collect from your French address and deliver door to door anywhere in the UK — from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands.

• Regular scheduled runs — we operate France–UK routes throughout the year, not just in peak moving season.
• UK customs and ToR guidance — we help you navigate Transfer of Residence relief to avoid paying unnecessary duty or VAT on your return.
• Two months free storage — if your UK property isn't ready on arrival, we can hold your belongings at our secure Oxfordshire facility at no extra cost.
• Transhipment vehicle — we can reach narrow streets and difficult access points anywhere in France that full-size lorries cannot.
