Choose the right option for your move to France

Whether you are sending a few boxes or moving the contents of a complete family home, we can advise on the most suitable transport option based on your volume, destination and timescale.

Part-Load Removals

A cost-effective option for smaller moves. Your belongings share vehicle space with other compatible shipments heading to France, so you only pay for the space you use, with a delivery window rather than a fixed date.

Dedicated Removals

A vehicle dedicated to your move, with your belongings and nobody else’s on board, delivered on a date you choose. The best option for larger house moves. For homes of more than three bedrooms, a 20ft shipping container is also an option, and a car can travel in the same container.

Palletised Service

Ideal for smaller moves. Your boxes and suitable furniture are packed, secured on pallets and transported through our European network, with kerbside delivery.

Courier Service

A convenient option for a few non-fragile items or urgent consignments that need to get from Ireland to France quickly.

Professional Removals to France

Every relocation is different. To help us plan your move and give you an accurate quotation, tell us about:

Collection & delivery

Your collection address in Ireland and your destination address in France.

Moving date & property

Your approximate moving date and the size of your property.

Furniture & boxes

A furniture inventory, approximate number of moving boxes and any large items.

Access at both homes

Floor level, lift availability, parking and access at both properties, including apartment buildings.

Packing & storage

Let us know whether you need packing services, storage in Dublin or both.

Fragile & specialist items

Tell us about fragile, valuable or specialist belongings that need extra protection or crating.

These details help us plan the right crew, vehicle and transport arrangement for your move from Ireland to France.

Many France relocations begin in Dublin.

Get Cracking can discuss collections from:

  • Dublin City
  • Castleknock
  • Blanchardstown
  • Swords
  • Malahide
  • Clontarf
  • Lucan
  • Tallaght
  • Dundrum
  • Sandyford
  • Blackrock
  • Dún Laoghaire
  • Other parts of Dublin

We also collect from Cork, Galway, Limerick and anywhere else in Ireland.

For the Irish part of the relocation, see our Dublin Removals service.

Removals to Paris

Paris is the most popular destination for people moving from Ireland to France. Most Paris homes are apartments, often in older buildings with narrow staircases, small lifts and limited parking, so tell us about access early. A furniture lift can sometimes be arranged for upper floors. See our dedicated Removals to Paris page.

Removals to Toulouse

Toulouse, the centre of the French aerospace industry, attracts many Irish engineers and their families. We move households from Ireland to Toulouse and the surrounding Occitanie region. See our dedicated Removals to Toulouse page.

Removals to Lyon

Lyon is France’s third-largest city and a major business, science and food capital. We can plan collection, transport and delivery around your dates, whether you are moving to a city-centre apartment or a family home in the suburbs.

Removals to Bordeaux and Nantes

Bordeaux and Nantes on the Atlantic side of France are popular with Irish families and remote workers. We deliver to city addresses and to rural homes throughout Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Pays de la Loire.

Removals to Marseille, Nice and the South of France

From Marseille and Montpellier to Nice and the Côte d’Azur, the south of France is a popular choice for retirees and second-home owners. For villas and hillside properties, tell us about narrow roads, gates and steep driveways before moving day.

Removals to Rural France

Many people moving from Ireland are heading for a house in the French countryside, from Brittany and Normandy to the Dordogne. Rural deliveries can involve narrow lanes and long carrying distances, so photographs of access are useful at quotation stage.

Popular Destinations We Cover in France

Get Cracking moves customers from Ireland to destinations throughout France, including:

  • Paris
  • Toulouse
  • Lyon
  • Bordeaux
  • Marseille
  • Nice
  • Montpellier
  • Nantes
  • Lille
  • Strasbourg
  • Rennes
  • Reims
  • Le Mans
  • Dijon
  • Bourges
  • Brittany & Normandy

Not on the list? We cover the whole of France. Provide the exact delivery address when requesting your quotation.

Packing for Removals to France

Good packing is especially important when belongings are travelling a long distance through Europe. Get Cracking provides professional packing services and can deliver moving boxes and packing materials to your door days or weeks before the move if you prefer to pack yourself.

Start packing early, work from the top of the house down and pack one room at a time. Label every box with its contents and destination room, keep heavier items at the bottom of each box and mark fragile boxes clearly. Keep important documents with you rather than in the shipment.

For artwork, antiques, mirrors and other fragile pieces, we can arrange bespoke wooden crating. Owner-packed goods are generally not covered by inland insurance.

Storage Before Moving to France

Get Cracking offers secure, containerised storage in Dublin 11 for customers planning removals from Ireland to France, from €17 + VAT per week.

Storage is useful if your new home in France is not ready when we collect, if you do not have an address yet, or if you are moving in stages. We store your goods in Dublin and deliver when you are ready, and we can also arrange storage through trusted partners in France and across Europe.

Learn more about our storage services in Dublin.

Office Relocations to France

Get Cracking also moves businesses from Ireland to France, including office furniture, files, computers and IT equipment, with packing, crating and temporary storage where needed. For larger commercial moves, visit Office Relocations.

How Much Do Removals to France Cost?

There is no single price for removals to France because every relocation is different. The price depends on:

  • The volume of your belongings
  • Collection and delivery locations
  • Access at both properties
  • Packing and dismantling requirements
  • Storage
  • Transport option and time of year

Use our Household Goods Volume Calculator to estimate the volume of your belongings, or ask about a free home survey. Then request your France removals quote.

Professional European Moving Standards

When choosing a company for removals to France, price is important, but experience and professional industry standards also matter. Get Cracking is accredited by and a member of the leading international moving associations.

Insurance for Removals to France

Insurance is not automatically included with your removal. Get Cracking can arrange optional international removals insurance for your household goods and personal belongings, subject to the appropriate option, declared value and policy terms.

Learn more about our removals insurance options.

Pet Transport to France

If you are moving from Ireland to France with pets, Get Cracking can help with pet transport as part of your relocation, including door-to-door transport, travel-document assistance and airline-approved travel kennels.

Dogs, cats and ferrets travelling within the EU need a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel and an EU pet passport issued by your vet. France also restricts certain attack-type dog breeds, so check the current rules before you book.

Read more about our pet transport services or visit our dedicated Pet Transport Ireland website.

Moving Your Car to France

If you are bringing a car, it can travel in a shipping container with your household goods, or we can discuss other vehicle transport options. See our special services.

Once you are resident in France, your car will normally need to be registered on French plates (carte grise), which is done online through the ANTS service. You will usually need your vehicle documents, a European Certificate of Conformity, proof of address and proof of French insurance.

Living in France: What to Know Before You Move

Ireland and France are both EU Member States, so moving household goods between them is simpler than moving outside the European Union.

Visas and residence: Irish and other EU citizens do not need a visa or residence permit to live, work or study in France. Non-EU citizens, including British citizens, generally need a long-stay visa for stays longer than 90 days. For current requirements, see the official France-Visas website.

Healthcare, banking and utilities: once settled, you can join the French health system (Assurance Maladie) and open a French bank account, which makes paying rent and bills easier. Set up electricity, internet and insurance a few weeks before you move, and arrange post forwarding from your Irish address with An Post.

Moving Back to Ireland From France

Get Cracking also moves customers from France to Ireland. If you are returning home or relocating to Ireland for work, we can collect from anywhere in France, pack and protect your belongings and deliver to your new address in Ireland, with storage in Dublin if your home is not ready.
