🎬 AERIAL VIDEO · AMIENS (80) · €500–1,800 PER HALF-DAY
Drone aerial video in Amiens
Directors love Amiens for its reflections: at daybreak, the Somme mirrors the city and every tracking shot gains depth. We plan those light windows at the scout. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Amiens: site access, the department's airspace context (80) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.
Local demand centres on heritage — Notre-Dame cathedral, France's largest, whose upper levels are ideally documented by drone —, offices and logistics along the A29, expanding university campuses, and Great War remembrance tourism in the nearby Somme (memorials, battlefields). Amiens' sky is uncluttered: the Amiens-Glisy airfield to the east hosts light aviation requiring simple coordination, and no major CTR covers the city.

Rates
€500–1,800 per half-day — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Every mission in Amiens is priced on its own facts: area to cover, flight height, expected deliverable and local formalities.
The airspace context in Amiens
The shooting plan in Amiens is set around controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Amiens-Glisy): some camera moves are replanned at lower height or on another axis after coordination with air traffic control.
A drone shoot follows open-category rules in clear areas and moves to the specific category (STS-01, prior declaration) as soon as it flies over a populated zone; productions receive insurance certificates and permits. Full regulations and rates: aerial video across France →
