How to prepare for your move to Marseille with Citydem Marseille

Moving, whether across the city or across Marseille, can quickly become a real challenge. Between packing boxes, administrative procedures, and logistics, organization is the key to a successful move.
At Citydem Marseille, moving specialists in the Bouches-du-Rhône region, we share our practical advice to help you prepare for your move to Marseille with complete peace of mind.

1. Plan your move in advance

The secret to a successful move is planning ahead.
👉 Ideally, start preparing for your move 6 to 8 weeks in advance.

Here are the essential steps:

Set a moving date (remember to avoid periods of high heat or holiday weekends).

Book your professional mover in Marseille as early as possible, especially if you are moving in the summer.

Sort through your belongings to keep only the essentials: it’s the perfect time to declutter!

💡 Citydem tip: proper sorting can reduce the volume to be transported and therefore the cost of your move.

2. Choose your mover in Marseille carefully

A local professional mover knows the city’s unique features: narrow streets, difficult parking areas, slopes, or old buildings without elevators.

With Citydem Marseille, you benefit from:

From an experienced team trained in delicate carrying,

Vehicles adapted to the size of your move,

From personalized support from quote to installation,

A secure furniture storage service if necessary.

Before confirming, request a free, detailed quote to estimate the cost of your move to Marseille.

3. Prepare your boxes efficiently

Packing time is often dreaded, but with a little organization, everything becomes easier.

Use sturdy boxes of various sizes.

Label each box (room + contents).

Group heavy items into small boxes, and light items into large ones.

Pack a “day-of essentials” box with items you will need upon arrival (papers, toiletries, clothes, chargers, etc.).

💡 Citydem tip: our “turnkey” packages include packing and unpacking your belongings for a stress-free move.

4. Anticipate administrative procedures

Moving also involves a series of formalities that should not be overlooked:

Inform your landlord or property manager.

Transfer your energy, internet and insurance contracts.

Update your postal address and official documents (registration card, taxes, bank, etc.).

Remember to request a parking permit from Marseille town hall or via the metropolitan area website.

5. On the big day: stay calm, Citydem takes care of everything

The big day has arrived! Thanks to careful preparation, you can let our team handle:

Loading, transport and unloading of your goods,
