The Pays de Gex is a narrow strip of French territory in the Ain department, wedged between Lake Geneva to the north and the Jura mountains to the west: and just 5 miles from Geneva. Removal companies and moving companies cover the UK to Pays de Gex route via the A40 motorway. London to Pays de Gex is approximately 540 miles. The area is the primary residential zone for international Geneva workers: CERN physicists, WHO health staff, UN and WTO international civil servants and multinational bank and trading company executives.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Pays de Gex takes about 2 days via the Channel Tunnel and A40 through the Mont Blanc corridor. Moving companies exit the A40 at Gex or Ferney-Voltaire. Part load overseas removals to Pays de Gex take 7 to 12 days. Removal companies note that the Pays de Gex has a constant inflow and outflow of international professionals on 2 to 4 year secondment contracts: creating one of the busiest professional relocation markets per capita in France.
Pays de Gex has good motorway access via the A40. Removal companies serving international Geneva workers note two specific complications. First, some professionals have goods in Switzerland and goods in France simultaneously: Swiss export documentation (Zollausfuhranmeldung from the Swiss Federal Customs Administration BAZG) is required for the Swiss-origin portion, in addition to French Douane transfer of residence for UK goods. Second, some Gex addresses are within the Swiss customs free zone (zone franche) which historically created special import rules: this zone was abolished in 2022.
International Removals Companies is a free enquiry matching service operated by DATACONTEXT (UK) LTD. It does not carry out removals itself. It connects each enquiry with one suitable FIDI-certified partner mover for the UK to Pays de Gex route, who then provides the quote and handles the move.
Free. One FIDI-certified partner mover. No obligation.
Removal companies for Pays de Gex confirm whether goods originate from the UK only, Switzerland only, or both. For UK-origin goods delivered to Gex, standard French Douane transfer of residence applies. For Swiss-origin goods, Swiss export documentation is required before goods cross the Franco-Swiss border. Moving companies coordinate both processes when goods originate from both countries. CERN and UN staff relocations are handled as standard residential moves despite the institutional employer.
Pays de Gex communes: Ferney-Voltaire (01210), Gex (01170), Divonne-les-Bains (01220), Thoiry (01710): have modern residential development with good lorry access. The Jura foothills west of Gex: Léaz, Châtillon-de-Michaille: have gradient D road access to confirm for isolated rural properties. Lake Geneva front properties north of Gex towards Versoix and Coppet are in Switzerland: confirm your address is in France (01) not Switzerland (GE) before enquiring.
These are rough planning guides. The actual price is confirmed by the partner mover after checking your volume, UK collection address, Pays de Gex delivery address and access details. For a full cost guide, see France removals costs.

Yes. Since Brexit, all overseas removals from the UK to Pays de Gex require French customs documentation. An important note specific to this area: if any goods originate from Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Customs Administration (BAZG / Administration fédérale des douanes AFD) requires a separate Swiss export declaration (Zollausfuhranmeldung) before those goods cross into France. The French zone franche around Geneva: which historically created special customs rules in Gex: was abolished in 2022. All Pays de Gex addresses now use standard French Douane transfer of residence procedures. Apply via douane.gouv.fr before UK goods leave the UK.
