Container homes are finding a real market in France, and the direct-from-factory route is worth understanding. Units are factory-built, ship from China folded or finished, and arrive at Le Havre and Marseille. This covers why they suit France, the sizes, shipping, and what you handle on your end.
Why this works in France
France’s strong secondary-home and seasonal-rental market suits fast installs. These units are built for temperate in the north, warm Mediterranean south conditions, so the local weather is covered. People here mostly use them for gites, holiday lets, annexes, site offices.
The sizes available
- 10FT Expandable – compact studio, office, or annexe.
- 20FT Expandable & Premium – the most popular pick for a one- or two-bedroom home.
- 40FT Premium & Deluxe – full family homes.
- Double-Story Villa – for when land is tight.
Shipping, explained
Delivery is port-to-port (FOB) into Le Havre and Marseille. The unit and the freight to port are covered – getting it from port to your site is yours to arrange. Units ship folded where they can, so freight stays efficient – and a multi-unit order can go in one shipment.
What it costs
Pricing is quoted per order – it depends on size, quantity, and spec. Payment is by bank transfer in full; we do not offer financing.
