Drone aerial photography in Tours

Free quote — aerial photography in Tours

Seen from above, Tours tells its story along the Loire and the Cher: aerial photography brings banks, bridges and rooftops into one composition only a drone can frame. Our full-frame sensors deliver files usable up to large-format display. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Tours: site access, the department's airspace context (37) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.

Tours-Val de Loire airport, immediately north of the centre, retains a military footprint and a CTR covering the city: most local missions require a protocol. The dense Vieux-Tours around Place Plumereau falls under the built-up-area scenario, and the UNESCO-listed Loire valley demands care around nesting seasons in the riverside reserves. Tours' position at the heart of château country (Villandry, Amboise, Chenonceau within the hour) makes it an ideal base for heritage and tourism imagery.

Airspace and formalities in Tours

Shoots in Tours are planned around the neighbouring controlled airspace (CTR de Tours-Val de Loire (emprise militaire)): 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 →
