I'm going on holiday to France in a couple of weeks with my family, staying near Bergerac. I had booked our flights with Ryanair but hadn't booked any luggage, trying to add it now they now want £110 per 20kg bag which is ridiculous! Instead I am looking to post our luggage out there and post it back. I can send a 30kg parcel out to France for about £17 but can't seem to find anything less than about £55 to post it in the other direction, even using Parcel Monkey's french site.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a french courier that can do this for a similar price to the outward leg?

I think I'd take a carry on and buy throw away stuff on arrival.

We've got 10kg each, but we need to take a fair bit of baby equipment as my son is 10 months old.

Try Mondial Relay

Depends more on size than weight. Sent two callipers back to UK recently for about 14€

you tight arse it may be cheaper to buy things in France then throw them away than to pay freight

It's more the principle of it.
