We will soon be moving to very rural France. Precisely Loire et Cher. Has anyone had experience with Amazon France deliveries? I expect we would need to find the Amazon drop hub since our home is remote with a gate. I am not having any luck online figuring this out. Help!

Amazon France is pretty much the same as the US version, but I had to set up a new account with a different email. I’m not sure how deliveries will work where you are but you could ask them to leave things at the gate.

I buy lots from Amazon and I have found that in remote areas like you mentioned having a gate, Amazon will only leave smaller packages in the mailbox if there is one near the gate. They will not leave larger items. I have put clear instructions where to leave something just inside the gate next to a tree there (no one can see anything), however they won’t do it. What I have found when ordering larger items is there will be one or more locations that you can choose to pick up from that are displayed on the Amazon order page. It might be a supermarket or a boulangerie or à tabac, etc or some other local business. It’s for you to decide which is the most convenient for you to go to. Believe me, that works out so much better than trying to deal with these contract delivery companies. Bon chance.
