Drone aerial photography in Chartres

Free quote — aerial photography in Chartres

Around Chartres, open country meets the urban fabric: aerial photography documents a single building or a whole district alike, with Basse ville et bords de l'Eure setting the scale. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Chartres and its department (28) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

The local economy relies on the Cosmetic Valley — the world's leading perfumery-cosmetics cluster (Guerlain, LVMH nearby) —, Beauce agro-industry and services. For drones, the Beauce is a major precision-agriculture terrain (NDVI mapping, crop counts), alongside heritage, real-estate and construction-monitoring missions. Prefecture of Eure-et-Loir, Chartres is dominated by its Notre-Dame cathedral, UNESCO-listed since 1979: its two dissimilar spires, visible for kilometres above the Beauce plain, its "Chartres blue" stained glass and its crypt make it a mythic aerial subject — subject to monument and urban-area authorisations.

Flying in Chartres: the local framework

Shoots in Chartres are planned around the neighbouring controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Chartres-Champhol (LFOR)): 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 →
