Provence covers two departments: Bouches-du-Rhône (13) and Vaucluse (84): and stretches from the Rhône delta in the west to the Var border in the east. Removal companies and moving companies cover the UK to Provence route via the A7 Autoroute du Soleil. London to Provence is approximately 890 to 1,000 miles depending on destination. Provence holds four major UNESCO Heritage sites within 50 miles: the Pont du Gard, Les Baux-de-Provence, the Arles amphitheatre and the Avignon historic centre.
A dedicated vehicle from the UK to Provence takes 3 days via the Channel Tunnel and A7. Moving companies exit the A7 at Avignon-Nord for Vaucluse properties, at Salon-de-Provence for Alpilles and Crau access, and at Aix-en-Provence for Bouches-du-Rhône. Part load overseas removals to Provence take 7 to 14 days. See the Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Marseille pages for city access details.
Provence has four distinct rural access zones beyond the main cities. The Alpilles (limestone ridge between Arles and Avignon) has quarry-stone driveways and narrow corniche roads in villages like Les Baux-de-Provence. The Luberon plateau east of Avignon has the perched village access challenges covered in the Avignon page. The Verdon Gorge area north-east of Aix has single-track D road access in the gorge itself. The Camargue wetland west of Arles has no conventional lorry access: it is a nature reserve with no residential delivery addresses.
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 Provence route, who then provides the quote and handles the move.

Removal companies for Provence cover access zones that city pages do not address. The Alpilles corniche roads: Paradou, Maussane-les-Alpilles, Fontvieille: have hairpin bends on the D27 and D27a that removal lorries cannot negotiate fully loaded. Moving companies use a relay vehicle staged from Maussane village square for Alpilles summit properties. Les Baux-de-Provence (13520) has a one-way corniche entry road with a 3.5-tonne weight limit for non-resident vehicles.
The Verdon Gorge region north-east of Aix: Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Aiguines, the Grand Canyon du Verdon: has the D952 corniche road above the gorge. This D road is 3.8 to 4.6 metres wide with sheer drop on one side: removal lorries do not use the gorge-side road. Properties in Moustiers village and Aiguines commune are accessed via the plateau approach roads from Riez and Aups. Confirm plateau versus gorge-side access for all Verdon addresses.
These are rough planning guides. The actual price is confirmed by the partner mover after checking your volume, UK collection address, Provence delivery address and access details. For a full cost guide, see France removals costs.

Since Brexit, all goods moving from the UK to France require French customs documentation. This applies to Provence addresses regardless of property size or value.
Removal companies to Provence cover both urban access (Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille) and rural Provence zones including Alpilles corniche roads, Luberon perched villages and Verdon Gorge plateau approaches. International Removals Companies connects each Provence enquiry with one suitable removal company free. The company confirms which Provence zone applies and assesses access before quoting.
House removals to Provence: part loads from about £700 to £1,600 for Vaucluse and inland Bouches-du-Rhône. A two-bedroom Provençal mas from about £2,000 to £4,500. Alpilles corniche or Verdon plateau relay adds £200 to £500. Book April to June or September to October: July and August reach 37°C regularly, making unloading difficult. All are planning guides confirmed by the removal company.
International moving companies covering Provence from the UK know the Alpilles corniche road weight limits, the Verdon plateau approach routes and the Luberon village access conditions. See the Avignon, Aix-en-Provence and Marseille pages for city-specific removal company access. London to Provence is approximately 890 to 1,000 miles via the A7.
Yes. Since Brexit, all overseas removals from the UK to Provence require French customs documentation. Provence is in the Marseille-Provence Douane regional direction: one of France's largest customs operations due to the Port of Marseille-Fos. Residential transfer of residence claims for Provence properties are processed through the Aix-en-Provence and Avignon Douane sub-offices, not the commercial port terminal. Apply for franchise des droits à l'importation via douane.gouv.fr before goods leave the UK.
