Matthew James have multiple removals vehicles travelling through the French Riviera every week.
Our expertise, know-how, local knowledge and specialist vehicles make us the obvious choice for moving to Cannes.

A part/shared load service is a cost effective way to move your goods to and from your destination. The reason this service is so cost effective is that you share the vehicle with other consignments and therefore the vehicle costs are also shared. All consignments are individually prepared, numbered, labelled and inventoried to ensure all items are correctly delivered to you. The main advantage of a part load service is that you will receive the Matthew James service of excellence at the most cost effective price.


How it works

If you’ve ever sent a parcel abroad or bought something from overseas, you’ll know that customs clearance is a difficult-to-navigate minefield, and costs can quickly add up.
That’s why our professional in-house team of customs handlers is ready to help you with everything you need for a stress-free shipping experience. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of specific customs laws from each country, helping you dot the ‘i’s and cross the ‘t’s on your paperwork and ensuring your shipment arrives safely.
Plus, our Dartford HQ became a fully customs-bonded facility in early 2023, meaning we can safely store your belongings in our own warehouse and keep track of them throughout the entire shipping process. You’re in safe hands with Matthew James.

Cannes is situated on the stunning coastline of the French Riviera in the south of France. Its population of roughly 80,000 people is considerably increased in the summer months when many tourists arrive in Cannes to bask in its rich culture and beautiful climate. The city is also liveliest during May when the world-famous Cannes Film Festival takes place. While most of Cannes’s population are French, the city is also home to many expats from all over the world attracted by the Film Festival as well as its prosperous economy and spectacular natural beauty. French is the official language of Cannes although local dialects such as Maritim and Occitan are also spoken. As it is a cosmopolitan city, expats moving to Cannes can expect English to be broadly spoken but learning even a little French will make life in this great city significantly easier.
Like the rest of the French Riviera, Cannes enjoys a balmy Mediterranean climate. Consequently, expats moving to Cannes can look forward to mild weather all year round. Cannes also experiences very little rainfall, with as little as 100mm falling in its wettest months between October and November. With average temperatures of around 25°C in the summer – highs of between 30°C to 32°C – and very mild winters it is no real surprise that Cannes is one of the most sought-after relocation destinations in the world.
As France is a member of the EU you will not need a visa to relocate to Cannes if you are a UK citizen. However, anyone living or travelling in France must be able to prove their identity using a valid passport, a photo driving license or other official documentation that is provided by a government body. Once you are in Cannes, you will need to register with your local CPAM in order to obtain a social security card for health care, called a “Carte Vitale”. For more information on relocating to Cannes please visit the UK government’s website here.
At Matthew James Removals we have the local knowledge and industry experience to manage all of your relocation needs, wherever in Cannes you choose to move. With 3 generations of experience, a customised vehicle fleet and frequent services, you can be sure you’re in the most capable hands in Cannes.
