Drone aerial video in Auxerre
Directors love Auxerre for its reflections: at daybreak, the Yonne mirrors the city and every tracking shot gains depth. We plan those light windows at the scout. With 34,634 inhabitants, Auxerre generates steady demand in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
Prefecture of the Yonne, Auxerre offers from the right bank one of Burgundy's finest river skylines: Saint-Étienne cathedral, Saint-Germain abbey with its Carolingian crypts and Saint-Pierre church terraced above the Yonne quays and the marina. The clock tower and half-timbered houses make a highly photogenic old town. Auxerre-Branches aerodrome (LFLA) to the north-west is the main constraint; flights along the Yonne and the Nivernais canal call for the usual care over busy waterways. The Auxerre economy blends administration, food processing, timber and above all wine: Chablis and its grands crus are twenty minutes away, with the Irancy and Saint-Bris vineyards.

Flight rules in Auxerre
The shooting plan in Auxerre is set around controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Auxerre-Branches (LFLA)): 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 →
