Drone aerial video in Chartres

Free quote — aerial video in Chartres

To tell the story of Chartres on video, altitude sets the pace: wide shots of the urban grid, an orbit around Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres (UNESCO), a breath towards the Centre-Val de Loire horizons. A precise shot list before the flight saves wasted minutes in the edit. From Basse ville et bords de l'Eure to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Chartres and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

Prefecture of Eure-et-Loir, Chartres is dominated by its Notre-Dame cathedral, UNESCO-listed since 1979: its two dissimilar spires, visible for kilometres above the Beauce plain, its "Chartres blue" stained glass and its crypt make it a mythic aerial subject — subject to monument and urban-area authorisations. The lower town on the Eure, its bridges and wash-houses, and the Chartres en Lumières light festival complete the picture. Chartres-Champhol aerodrome (LFOR) borders the city to the north-east. The local economy relies on the Cosmetic Valley — the world's leading perfumery-cosmetics cluster (Guerlain, LVMH nearby) —, Beauce agro-industry and services.

Local regulations: flying in Chartres

The shooting plan in Chartres is set around controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Chartres-Champhol (LFOR)): 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 →
