Transexpo, a leader in international art transportation, has developed specific expertise in relocating castles and private mansions for its wealthy clients, who are avid art collectors.
Our Transexpo agency in Île-de-France recently undertook the relocation of artworks to a castle nestled in the majestic Loire Valley. This large-scale operation, executed with precision and expertise, demonstrates Transexpo's prowess in handling such complex tasks.
The challenge was significant: transporting around twenty artworks, including a monumental sculpture, from Paris to the banks of the Loire, in a setting as prestigious as it is demanding. To accomplish this, Transexpo deployed cutting-edge logistics, blending technology, expertise, and the dedicated efforts of our teams.
The journey began with the meticulous loading of artworks into a specially equipped and climate-controlled truck, ensuring optimal conservation conditions throughout the trip. Under the careful supervision of our experts, each piece was meticulously packed and secured to withstand the winding roads to the castle.
Upon arrival, our teams were greeted by the majestic Renaissance-era castle, ready to receive the transported treasures. The major challenge lay in manually carrying the bulky pieces up the castle stairs. However, thanks to our experienced team of six and the support of four professional porters, each crate was handled with utmost care, respecting both the integrity of the artworks and the historical site.
The most technical phase of this mission was the installation of a large steel contemporary sculpture, packed in five heavy and voluminous crates. Our specialists delicately unpacked the sculpture's various elements and precisely installed them, unveiling its splendor in the castle's historic halls.
Once the mission was completed, our teams retrieved the empty packaging, leaving the castle halls spotless to the delight of its owners.
