Are you looking for a removal service to or from the French Riviera? Our vehicles travel to Nice every week. Matthew James have the local knowledge and industry experience to manage all of your relocation needs.

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.

Moving to Nice allows expats to settle in one of Europe’s most sought after locations. Located in the heart of France’s Côte d’Azur, between Monaco and Cannes, Nice has a long history of attracting visitors and new settlers with its natural beauty and cosmopolitan charm. But Nice is not just the quaint and placid town that many people may suppose; it’s also one of the largest and most exciting cities in France. As well as its great climate, excellent transport connections and beautiful surrounding countryside, Nice also offers expats exciting employment opportunities in its main industry of tourism, as well as its burgeoning technology scene – with some commentators even labelling Nice as a “city of tomorrow.”
At Matthew James Removals we offer regular services to and from Nice, throughout the year. From dedicated removals to shared-loads or even single items, we offer a service to meet your requirements. Our expertise, know-how, local knowledge and specialist vehicles make us the obvious choice for moving to Nice.
Our company has been accredited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. We are members of IAM (International Association of Movers), the world’s largest trade association for the global removals industry.
All of our depots in the UK and Spain offer fully containerised storage facilities in modern and secure warehouses. Shared-loads are consolidated at our depots in the UK and Spain for onwards transport to Nice and beyond.
We can arrange a bespoke insurance policy aligned with your Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum service, to ensure that your treasured possessions are covered in the unlikely event of an accident occurring. Please speak to your designated Move Manager who can guide you through this process and advise you accordingly.
PACKING SERVICES
Many people are attracted to living in Nice because of its balmy Mediterranean climate. Expats settling in this picturesque city can expect to enjoy gorgeous six-month summers and very mild temperatures in the brief winter. Summers in Nice are warm and dry, with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 32°C. Winters are typically sunny with relatively little rainfall and average temperatures of between 10°C to 16°C. Although many residents living in Nice will speak some English thanks to its tourism industry, most locals will not be interested in speaking English. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you have at least a basic knowledge of French before moving to Nice. This will help distinguish you from the many tourists that enter the city each year as well as make your social and working life significantly easier.
As a result of its glittering past – and now its exciting present – Nice can compete with the same level of elegance as Paris but with the added advantage of its Mediterranean climate. Whatever your interests, Nice has something to offer everyone. Whether you prefer relaxing on one of Nice’s many beaches or maybe you prefer retail therapy at the Avenue Jean Medecin in Nice’s commercial centre, this city has leisure activities to cater to all tastes.
Housing for residents in Nice is primarily available in the city’s suburbs as most of the accommodation in the city centre is rental property aimed at Nice’s thriving tourist market. EU and EEA citizens do not require a visa to enter France. However, anyone travelling or living in France must be able to provide proof of their identity with either a valid passport, photo driving licence or other accepted documentation provided by an official government body. Upon arrival in Nice, you will need to register with your local CPAM (“Caisse Primaire d’Assurance Maladie”) to obtain a “Carte Vitale”, which is the social security card for health care in France. For more information on visas, health care and other general advice for moving to Nice please visit the UK government’s immigration guidance website here.
