Drone aerial video in Montauban
In Montauban, the Tarn acts as a natural dolly track: gliding upstream, crossing the line of the bridges, revealing the quays and the old centre. These signature shots instantly give a corporate or destination film its local identity. In Montauban as across the department (82), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
Montauban's economy relies on food and fruit production (Quercy melon, nearby Moissac chasselas grapes), growing logistics along the A62 and a fabric of construction SMEs. Local drone demand: precision agriculture and orchards, monitoring of the many residential projects of a fast-growing city, heritage and events. Prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne, 50 km north of Toulouse, Montauban is one of the oldest bastide towns of the South-West: its Place Nationale with double rows of pink-brick arcades, the 14th-century Pont Vieux over the Tarn and the Ingres Bourdelle museum make remarkable aerial views.

The airspace context in Montauban
A shoot in Montauban needs lead time: the overflight ban (Emprises du 17e régiment du génie parachutiste (survol interdit)) requires a specific authorisation per flight plan, filed well ahead of the shoot date — we build it into the production schedule.
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 Montauban: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per half-day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Build the overflight-authorisation lead time for Montauban into your schedule: several weeks depending on the case.
Which aerial shots work best in Montauban?
Reveals of Place Nationale and wide shots tying the city to its landscape — Occitanie, 61,919 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.
