Drone aerial video in Mâcon
A film shot in Mâcon has a ready-made opening: arriving along the Saône, revealing the bridges, then Roche de Solutré à proximité as the tracking shot unfolds. Our pilots write these shots with you at the scout, then fly them in the chosen light window. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Mâcon: site access, the department's airspace context (71) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.
Prefecture of the Saône-et-Loire département on the right bank of the Saône, Mâcon lives off its position on a major corridor: the A6 motorway, the high-speed rail line with its Mâcon-Loché station, the navigable river and one of France's main inland ports keep freight and logistics moving all year. The heritage reads from the Lamartine quays — the poet Alphonse de Lamartine was born here in 1790 — with the towers of the Vieux Saint-Vincent, Saint-Pierre church, the 18th-century Hôtel-Dieu and the Maison de bois, a timber-framed facade in the old centre. Economically, food processing, logistics, industry and public-sector services share the activity, while the Mâconnais vineyards — Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran — climb westwards towards the Roche de Solutré, an emblematic limestone spur a dozen kilometres away.

Airspace and formalities in Mâcon
The shooting plan in Mâcon is set around controlled airspace (Abords de l'aérodrome de Mâcon-Charnay (LFLM)): 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 →

Frequently asked questions
Aerial video in Mâcon: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per half-day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Mâcon, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
Which aerial shots work best in Mâcon?
Reveals of Roche de Solutré à proximité and wide shots tying the city to its landscape — Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, 35,177 inhabitants seen from above — are the most requested sequences. Scouting sets the axis, time and regulatory framework for each shot.
Can you film indoors (factory, warehouse, venue)?
Yes: indoor flights are outside the scope of aviation regulations. We use light, protected drones (cages or ducted propellers) to fly safely inside buildings.
