Drone aerial photography in Nîmes
The open skies of Occitanie favour aerial photography in Nîmes: long golden hours, crisp horizons and an urban grid made for top-down views. From a single building to a whole district, each series is planned on the map before take-off. From Maison Carrée to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Nîmes and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Outlets are varied: showcasing exceptional Roman heritage (the arena, the UNESCO-listed Maison Carrée, the Magne tower), real estate and hotels in a gateway city to the Camargue and Cévennes, Costières de Nîmes vineyards, and monitoring of flood-defence works against Cévenol storms, a recurring issue that drones document effectively. Nîmes' particularity: Nîmes-Garons airport to the south hosts the French civil-security air fleet (Canadair water bombers, Dash aircraft), whose activity intensifies sharply in fire season — its CTR and the bombers' low trajectories demand serious coordination in summer.
