Drone aerial photography in Reims
Around Reims, open country meets the urban fabric: aerial photography documents a single building or a whole district alike, with Caves de champagne et crayères setting the scale. From Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Reims and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
The local market has two engines: heritage — the UNESCO-listed cathedral, whose restoration campaigns rely on drone inspection, and the Saint-Remi basilica — and above all champagne: the great houses (Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger, Pommery) and the UNESCO-listed hillsides commission brand imagery, plot mapping and harvest monitoring on the nearby Montagne de Reims. Reims airspace is relatively forgiving: the former air base 112 is closed and the Reims-Prunay airfield to the east generates only light traffic.

Local regulations: flying in Reims
Shoots in Reims are planned around the neighbouring controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Reims-Prunay à l'est): 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 →

What subjects work from the air in Reims?
The landmarks of Reims — Palais du Tau, Caves de champagne et crayères — take on another dimension seen from 100 m, as do changing neighbourhoods and the surrounding Grand Est landscape. The pilot checks site by site what local rules allow.
What happens in bad weather?
The flight is rescheduled free of charge to the next suitable window: rain, wind above 40 km/h or fog make flying impossible or the images unusable. We monitor the forecast with you until the day before.
