Why People Move to Nice

Nice remains one of the most popular destinations for UK residents relocating abroad. The combination of exceptional weather and high living standards makes it a natural choice for families and businesses looking to move to France.
Climate and Lifestyle
The Mediterranean climate brings roughly 300 sunny days each year. Winters stay mild and summers are warm, creating perfect conditions for outdoor living. The city blends rich history with vibrant markets, museums and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to both working professionals and retirees.
Connections and Community
Nice offers excellent transport links through its international airport and efficient tram network, connecting you locally and to other destinations in France and Europe. The strong international community means you'll find English-speaking doctors, legal services and banking, reducing the isolation many worry about when moving abroad.
Popular Neighbourhoods We Regularly Move Customers To
Most customers moving to Nice from the UK choose these areas:
- Vieux Nice (Old Town) – Perfect for those wanting a vibrant, walkable lifestyle with cafes, shops and cultural attractions on your doorstep.
- Promenade des Anglais (Central Nice) – The iconic seafront location offers easy beach access, restaurants and transport connections. Nice families and retirees appreciate the convenience and stunning views.
- Cimiez – This quieter, upscale residential area features parks, museums and elegant properties. It's ideal for families seeking a peaceful setting close to central Nice.
We also serve nearby Côte d'Azur towns including Cannes, Antibes, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Menton.

Step 3: Quote – You'll receive a clear written quote that explains each service option—no hidden fees or taxes.
4
Step 4: Packing and Collection – On your agreed collection date, our team will pack and load your belongings for transport. For those using our expert removals service, we handle the packing so you don't have to.
5
Step 5: Transport and Delivery – Once loaded, we transport your consignment to Nice. You'll get regular updates so you always know where your belongings are.

If you're considering wider European removals or specifically removals to France, we provide the same careful service across multiple cities in France and Europe.
Costs and How to Save Money
The cost of UK-to-Nice removals varies based on several factors.
Volume is the primary driver; larger shipments may require multiple vehicles or trips. Part-load service costs less than dedicated removals because you share transport expenses with other customers. Access also matters: how easily our team can reach both properties and move items in and out affects the overall price. Finally, timing plays a role: peak seasons command higher rates due to demand.
Ways to Reduce Your Moving Costs
- Declutter before your survey: dispose of items you no longer need to reduce the volume we're moving.
- Choose part load when possible – Share transport costs if your shipment allows it.
- Be flexible with dates – Moving during quieter periods often means better availability and lower costs.
Customs Clearance, Paperwork and Insurance
Post-Brexit regulations mean removals from the UK to France now require customs documentation. You'll need an inventory list of what's being moved, proof of identity (passport) and proof of residence in both the UK and France.
The paperwork can seem daunting, but Gentlevan guides you through the entire process. We explain what's needed and when, giving you peace of mind that everything's in order.
For international removals, we strongly recommend arranging shipment insurance. It protects your belongings throughout the journey, making it particularly valuable for long-distance European routes such as London to France.
FAQs
Transit times for removals to and from Nice depend primarily on whether you choose part-load or dedicated service. Dedicated service offers quicker transit through direct travel, while part-load services follow scheduled European routes. We'll confirm your specific timeframe during the survey stage.
Absolutely. Our part-load service works perfectly for smaller moves. Your belongings share vehicle space with other consignments bound for the Côte d'Azur, making partial shipments cost-effective.
Yes. We provide removals from Nice back to the UK using the same reliable approach.
Book as early as possible. Early booking gives you more flexibility around dates, especially during busy periods when demand for removals in Nice peaks.
If your schedule shifts after booking, we'll do our best to adjust your collection or delivery dates. Our storage facilities throughout the UK can bridge any gaps if needed.
