Marseille is France's second-largest city and its oldest, founded by Greek settlers in 600 BC. Removal companies and moving companies cover the UK to Marseille route via the A7 Autoroute du Soleil. London to Marseille is approximately 1,000 miles. Marseille divides into 16 arrondissements, each with different access and parking conditions. The Euromediterranée regeneration zone near the port has transformed northern Marseille access with new roads and lorry-accessible streets.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Marseille takes 3 to 4 days. Moving companies exit the A7 at Marseille-Nord for northern arrondissements or continue to the Prado exchange for the 8th and 9th in the south. The Corniche Kennedy coastal road provides access to properties above the Anse du Prophète and Malmousque. Part load overseas removals to Marseille take 10 to 14 days. Removal companies coordinating with Vieux-Port delivery must note that Quai du Port has tidal parking restrictions at high tide.
Le Panier and the Vieux-Port old quarter require relay vehicles. Removal companies cannot enter the medieval street network: the Rue du Panier and surrounding lanes have widths of 2.1 to 2.8 metres. Modern Marseille arrondissements: the 8th Vélodrome district, the 13th Saint-Marcel industrial zone and the 9th Mazargues: have full lorry access. The northern arrondissements including Saint-Antoine and La Rose have good access via the D4 ring road.

Removal companies for Marseille plan access based on the arrondissement number. The 2nd arrondissement Vieux-Port area uses a relay vehicle staged from the Parking Vieux-Port at Quai Rive Neuve. Le Panier in the 2nd has streets from 2.1 metres wide: a full-size removal lorry cannot enter. Moving companies confirm street width before booking properties in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements.
The Euromediterranée zone in the 2nd and 3rd arrondissements: including the MuCEM museum area and the new Joliette docks: has modern lorry access with wide service roads. Properties in the 8th Prado-Vélodrome area have standard residential access. Hillside properties in the 9th, 12th and 13th arrondissements may have hairpin approach roads. Confirm your arrondissement and road name for accurate access assessment.
These are rough planning guides. The actual price is confirmed by the partner mover after checking your volume, UK collection address, Marseille delivery address and access details. For a full cost guide, see France removals costs.
