Drone aerial photography in Carcassonne
Around Carcassonne, open country meets the urban fabric: aerial photography documents a single building or a whole district alike, with Basilique Saint-Nazaire setting the scale. With 46,296 inhabitants, Carcassonne generates steady demand in Occitanie: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
The Aude economy relies on heritage tourism, winegrowing (Cabardès, Malepère, Corbières) and wind power. Typical drone missions: promotional imagery for wine estates and hotels, real estate, construction monitoring, wind-farm inspection on the department's windy ridges. Carcassonne holds two UNESCO listings: the medieval Cité with its 52 towers restored by Viollet-le-Duc — Europe's largest fortified ensemble, 2 million visitors a year — and the Canal du Midi crossing the Saint-Louis bastide.

Local regulations: flying in Carcassonne
Shoots in Carcassonne are planned around the neighbouring controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Carcassonne (LFMK)): 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 →
