London to the Dordogne is roughly 1,200–1,400km depending on your destination within the department. Dedicated transit runs 4–6 days, part-load 6–9 days. The route goes via Paris and Bordeaux, then into the department via Périgueux or Bergerac depending on your specific address.

The real variable in a Dordogne removal is the last few kilometres. Many properties here are farmhouses, mas, and old stone houses accessed by single-track lanes with passing places. A 13.6-metre trailer cannot physically reach some of them. We check your access during the survey and plan the right vehicle combination before confirming your quote — not on moving day when there’s no room to turn around.

The Dordogne in July and August is busy with tourism, which affects road access in market towns (Sarlat, Bergerac, Périgueux) and some rural lanes. We book moving dates in this period earlier than usual and avoid market days in small towns. September to November and March to June are the most practical moving windows.

Dordogne sits at the upper end of our France pricing due to distance and rural access logistics. Typical costs: £900–£1,500 part-load, £1,400–£2,100 studio or one-bed, £2,000–£3,000 two-bed, £2,800–£4,000 three-bed, £3,600–£4,500 four-bed or larger. Fixed after survey.
