5. Electronics

Send us an inventory, photographs or video showing what needs to be transported.

The moving plan is then based on your actual belongings.

Moving a Full Household from Cologne to Marseille

A complete relocation from western Germany to the Mediterranean requires significantly more planning than a local move.

Family households may include:

1. Beds
2. Wardrobes
3. Sofas
4. Dining furniture
5. Cabinets
6. Appliances
7. Electronics
8. Children's furniture
9. Home-office equipment
10. Bicycles
11. Sports equipment
12. Artwork
13. Outdoor furniture
14. Large quantities of boxes

ARSA Transport can coordinate the complete process:

Professional packing → furniture protection → dismantling → loading in Cologne → long-distance transportation → unloading in Marseille → furniture assembly.

For larger relocations, a detailed inventory or video survey allows us to establish the correct moving setup before collection.

Apartment Moving Cologne to Marseille

Marseille's residential environment varies considerably between neighbourhoods.

You may be moving into:

1. Historic apartment building
2. Upper-floor city apartment
3. Modern development
4. Residential complex
5. Family property
6. Villa outside the centre

Central apartment access may involve:

• Narrow streets
• Upper floors
• Staircases
• Small elevators
• No elevator
• Courtyard entrances
• Limited loading space
• Longer carrying distances

Provide accurate property-access information before your move so the delivery can be planned accordingly.

Moving Into an Upper-Floor Marseille Apartment

For upper-floor properties, tell us:

1. Floor number
2. Whether there is an elevator
3. Approximate elevator size
4. Staircase access
5. Entrance width
6. Carrying distance
7. Large furniture dimensions

A delivery to a fifth-floor property without suitable elevator access requires a different moving setup from a ground-floor or modern apartment delivery.

Photographs or a short access video are useful when you are unsure.

Furniture Transport Cologne to Marseille

ARSA Transport also provides long-distance furniture transport between Cologne and Marseille.

You can move:

1. Sofa
2. Bed
3. Mattress
4. Wardrobe
5. Dining table
6. Chairs
7. Cabinets
8. Shelving
9. Desk
10. Mirrors
11. Artwork
12. Appliances
13. Office furniture

Suitable items can be dismantled before transport and assembled again at the destination.

This is particularly useful for larger furniture that cannot pass through smaller apartment entrances or staircases in one piece.

Moving to Central Marseille

ARSA Transport provides delivery throughout Marseille's central districts and surrounding neighbourhoods.

Popular destinations include:

Vieux-Port · Le Panier · La Joliette · Castellane · Préfecture · Vauban · Endoume · Saint-Victor · La Plaine · Prado · Périer · Bonneveine · Pointe Rouge

Central Marseille can require additional planning because streets, parking conditions and building access differ significantly between neighbourhoods.

Exact access should therefore be established before moving day.

Moving to Vieux-Port & Le Panier

The areas around Vieux-Port and Le Panier contain some of Marseille's most historic urban environments.

Properties can involve:

1. Historic buildings
2. Narrow streets
3. Upper floors
4. Smaller staircases
5. Limited loading space
6. Longer carrying distances

These conditions are especially relevant when moving large sofas, wardrobes, beds or complete households.

Providing access photographs before the move helps avoid surprises during delivery.

Moving to La Joliette

La Joliette offers a different environment, with modern residential and commercial development alongside older Marseille properties.

Moves here frequently involve:

1. Professionals
2. Modern apartments
3. International employees
4. Corporate relocations
5. Smaller households

Modern buildings may offer elevators, underground garages and controlled entrances.

Where applicable, provide garage height and building-access instructions beforehand.

Moving to Prado & Périer

Prado and Périer are popular residential areas for professionals and families.

Relocations may involve larger apartments and family households with:

1. Complete furniture inventories
2. Children's belongings
3. Bicycles
4. Appliances
5. Home-office equipment
6. Artwork
7. Numerous moving boxes

ARSA Transport can coordinate both apartment and complete family relocations throughout these areas.

Moving to Southern Marseille

Areas such as Bonneveine, Pointe Rouge and surrounding southern districts attract customers looking for more residential space and proximity to the Mediterranean.

Household moves may include items that are less common in compact city-centre relocations:

1. Outdoor furniture
2. Sports equipment
3. Bicycles
4. Larger furniture
5. Garage belongings
6. Complete family inventories

These should all be included in the inventory before quotation.

Moving to Aix-en-Provence & the Wider Region

Your destination does not need to be Marseille itself.

ARSA Transport also provides moving services to nearby locations including:

Aix-en-Provence · Aubagne · Cassis · La Ciotat · Marignane · Martigues and surrounding areas

Aix-en-Provence is particularly relevant for international professionals, students and families who want to live within the wider Marseille–Provence region.

Student relocations may involve:

1. Moving boxes
2. Suitcases
3. Books
4. Computer equipment
