I have posted previously about wanting to get my Najad 361 back from Corfu. Following advice from members I agree that sailing to the S of France and then overland from there is a good option. Does anybody know of a haulage company they could recommend ? I wouldn‘t necessarily want her taking all the way to the Channel coast. La Rochelle would be fine.

There are bound to be hauliers with contracts with N European boat builders who regularly deliver new boats to the Med. If you can find out who they are you should be able to do a deal for a return load?

The French are big on transporting boats by lorry and the page below will give you a list of boat hauliers... Shopping around is fine but in my experience the prices are all pretty similar.... Lorry option
You are right it would be cheaper to La Rochelle from say Port Napoleon near Marseille

Have you considered taking her back by the coast?

Have a look at my video
which shows how easy it is but of course it's quite a long way across the Med for you even to just Gib

No direct personal experience but have seen these people loading boats and they appear competent. I agree Pt Napoleon - La Rochelle is the best compromise route from the Med to UK.
