Drone aerial video in Beauvais
In Beauvais, the geometry of streets and squares draws perfect leading lines for the aerial camera: graphic top-down shots, then an opening move towards Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Basse-Œuvre and the Hauts-de-France horizon. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Beauvais and its department (60) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Prefecture of the Oise, Beauvais boasts in its Saint-Pierre cathedral the tallest Gothic choir ever built (48.5 m under the vault) — an architectural vertigo left unfinished, together with an astronomical clock and the early-medieval Basse-Œuvre church. The major constraint is Beauvais-Tillé airport (LFOB), France's tenth-busiest airport thanks to low-cost traffic: its CTR covers the city and requires coordination for most urban flights. The Beauvais economy combines farm machinery (AGCO Massey Ferguson, France's largest tractor factory), cosmetics and Picardy agriculture.

Flight rules in Beauvais
The shooting plan in Beauvais is set around controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Beauvais-Tillé (LFOB)): 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 →
