Drone aerial photography in Aurillac

Free quote — aerial photography in Aurillac

In Aurillac, the relief makes the picture: ridgelines as a backdrop, terraced valleys, the dense roofs of the old centre seen from above. The drone captures the town's singular geography in a way no ground shot can. In Aurillac as across the department (15), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Prefecture of the Cantal, Aurillac spreads at the foot of Europe's largest volcano — the Cantal stratovolcano, whose Puy Mary, a Grand Site de France, peaks at 1,783 m. The old town with its stone-slab roofs, the Saint-Étienne castle and the Jordanne quays form the urban setting; in August the International Street Theatre Festival, Europe's largest of its kind, transforms the city and triggers overflight-ban orders. Aurillac-Tronquières aerodrome (LFLW), with a scheduled service to Paris, borders the town to the south. Historic cradle of French umbrella-making and a cheese capital (Cantal and Salers AOPs), the local economy lives on food production, livestock farming and public services.

Flying in Aurillac: the local framework

Shoots in Aurillac are planned around the neighbouring controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Aurillac-Tronquières (LFLW)): capped heights in places and prior coordination with air traffic control, which our pilot handles before any shutter release.

Professional aerial photography is mostly flown in the open category (A1 to A3, 120 m maximum) with an operator registered on AlphaTango; in town or near the public it moves to the specific category with prior declaration. Full regulations and rates: aerial photography across France →
