Free quote — aerial video in Bayonne

A film shot in Bayonne has a ready-made opening: arriving along the Adour and the Nive, revealing the bridges, then Cathédrale Sainte-Marie (UNESCO) as the tracking shot unfolds. Our pilots write these shots with you at the scout, then fly them in the chosen light window. In Bayonne as across the department (64), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Historic capital of the northern Basque Country, Bayonne stacks its red-and-green half-timbered houses along the Nive, beneath the UNESCO-listed Sainte-Marie cathedral (Way of St James) and within Vauban's fortifications. The main airspace constraint comes from Biarritz-Pays Basque airport (LFBZ), whose CTR covers much of the BAB conurbation (Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz): most urban flights require preparation via the drone map and, where needed, coordination. The local economy blends a commercial port on the Adour (Tarnos), emblematic food production (Bayonne ham, chocolate), aerospace (Dassault in Anglet) and powerful tourism.

Flight rules in Bayonne

The shooting plan in Bayonne is set around controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Biarritz-Pays basque (LFBZ)): 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 →
