🎬 AERIAL VIDEO · CAEN (14) · €500–1,800 PER HALF-DAY
Drone aerial video in Caen
To tell the story of Caen on video, altitude sets the pace: wide shots of the urban grid, an orbit around Château de Caen, a breath towards the Normandie horizons. A precise shot list before the flight saves wasted minutes in the edit. With 105,403 inhabitants, Caen generates steady demand in Normandie: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
Local demand pairs heritage — a ducal castle among Europe's largest, the Men's and Ladies' Abbeys — with remembrance tourism towards the D-Day beaches and war cemeteries (overflight tightly controlled during June commemorations), Normandy campuses, port peninsula regeneration works and the horse-breeding and farming economy of the bocage minutes away. Caen-Carpiquet airport, immediately west, imposes its CTR on part of the conurbation and its traffic grows steadily: protocols are the norm for west-side flights.

The airspace context in Caen
The shooting plan in Caen is set around controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Caen-Carpiquet): 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 →
