Périgueux is the capital of the Dordogne and the historic heart of the Périgord: France's most densely settled rural department by British ownership. Removal companies and moving companies cover the UK to Périgueux route via the largely toll-free A20 motorway south to Brive-la-Gaillarde, then the D6089 west to Périgueux. London to Périgueux is approximately 730 miles. The Dordogne holds the highest concentration of British-owned rural properties in France, making Périgueux one of the most consistent UK to France removal destinations.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Périgueux takes 2 to 3 days via the Channel Tunnel and A20 south. Moving companies note that the Périgueux city ring road (the N89 and D939) provides access to all four districts of the city without entering the historic centre. Part load overseas removals to Périgueux take 7 to 14 days. Removal companies serving the Périgord Noir: the dark-oak forest country south-east of Périgueux: use the D47 and D703 towards Sarlat and Les Eyzies.
Rural Dordogne properties fall into several property types each with specific access challenges. Périgourdines farmhouses have original stone entrance gates 2.8 to 3.4 metres wide and unpaved courtyard surfaces. Troglodyte (cave) dwellings cut into the limestone cliffs: particularly around Les Eyzies (24620) and Domme (24250): have entrance widths determined by the rock face opening, typically 2.5 to 3.0 metres. Riverside properties on the Dordogne and Vézère floodplains have clay track access that becomes impassable from November to March.
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 Périgueux route, who then provides the quote and handles the move.
Free. One FIDI-certified partner mover. No obligation.
Removal companies for Périgueux confirm the property type and access conditions before quoting. Troglodyte cave properties in the Vézère valley (Les Eyzies, Sergeac, Tursac) require the rock face entrance width: if the opening is less than 2.7 metres wide, a relay vehicle is needed. The Dordogne river floodplain between Bergerac and Sarlat has clay alluvial soil: removal lorries on unpaved floodplain tracks from November to March risk becoming stuck.
Bastide towns: Monpazier (24540), Beaumont-du-Périgord (24440), Domme (24250): have original medieval gateways ranging from 3.1 to 4.0 metres wide. Removal companies confirm the specific gateway dimensions for bastide addresses. The Périgord Blanc (white limestone country) around Périgueux city has better-surfaced D roads year-round. Book May to September for rural Périgord Noir and Vézère valley addresses: not for seasonal access reasons alone, but because local removal company resources are most available in spring and autumn.
These are rough planning guides. The actual price is confirmed by the partner mover after checking your volume, UK collection address, Périgueux delivery address and access details. For a full cost guide, see France removals costs.

Yes. Since Brexit, all overseas removals from the UK to Périgueux require French customs documentation. The Dordogne Douane office covers the Périgueux area. An important note for Dordogne property buyers: French Douane customs rules on agricultural products, food, plant cuttings and soil mean that items commonly moved with rural property contents: preserved foods, wine, truffles, garden plants: each have quantity and permit requirements. Confirm with the removal company before packing any agricultural products or foodstuffs and check douane.gouv.fr for current rules.
