🎬 AERIAL VIDEO · BESANÇON (25) · €500–1,800 PER HALF-DAY
Drone aerial video in Besançon
A film shot in Besançon has a ready-made opening: arriving along the Doubs, revealing the bridges, then Quai Vauban as the tracking shot unfolds. Our pilots write these shots with you at the scout, then fly them in the chosen light window. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Besançon and its department (25) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
The UNESCO-listed Vauban citadel, perched a hundred metres above the old town, is the flagship subject, complemented by a historic watchmaking and microtechnology market, the La Bouloie campuses, renovation of old housing stock and the landscapes of the Doubs and the first Jura ridges minutes away. Besançon offers a gentle aerial environment: the Besançon-La Vèze airfield, on the plateau to the south-east, hosts only light aviation and no major CTR covers the city.

Flying in Besançon: the local framework
The shooting plan in Besançon is set around controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Besançon-La Vèze): 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 →
