Drone aerial photography in Montauban

Free quote — aerial photography in Montauban

A pilot who knows Montauban knows where the light falls on the Tarn and when Musée Ingres Bourdelle stands out best: aerial photography here is as much about scouting as altitude. Every series is framed for its end use — print, web or file. In Montauban as across the department (82), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne, 50 km north of Toulouse, Montauban is one of the oldest bastide towns of the South-West: its Place Nationale with double rows of pink-brick arcades, the 14th-century Pont Vieux over the Tarn and the Ingres Bourdelle museum make remarkable aerial views. Mind the military estates: the city hosts the 17th parachute engineer regiment, whose grounds are no-fly, and Montauban aerodrome (LFDB) borders the city to the north-east. Montauban's economy relies on food and fruit production (Quercy melon, nearby Moissac chasselas grapes), growing logistics along the A62 and a fabric of construction SMEs.

Airspace and formalities in Montauban

For a photo shoot in Montauban, the key constraint is the standing overflight ban (Emprises du 17e régiment du génie parachutiste (survol interdit)): prior authorisation is essential and must be requested several weeks before the planned shoot date.

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 →
