Free quote — aerial photography in Tarbes

Photographing Tarbes from above means working with the relief: low angles from the valley, panoramas where Panorama sur le pic du Midi de Bigorre stands out against the heights, fast-changing mountain light. The pilot picks the hour and take-off point accordingly. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Tarbes and its department (65) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

Prefecture of the Hautes-Pyrénées, Tarbes spreads across the Adour plain with, on clear days, one of the finest urban panoramas of the Pyrenees — the Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the lead role. The Massey garden, the national stud farm and Marshal Foch's birthplace make up the heritage, while the airspace is busy: the CTR of Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées airport (LFBT), which handles Lourdes pilgrims and above all the TARMAC Aerosave site — Europe's largest aircraft storage and dismantling centre —, covers the south-west; the 1st parachute hussar regiment adds military estates in town. Aerospace irrigates the economy (Daher, Safran, plus Alstom for rail) alongside food specialities (Tarbais beans).
