🎬 AERIAL VIDEO · MONTPELLIER (34) · €500–1,800 PER HALF-DAY
Drone aerial video in Montpellier
To tell the story of Montpellier on video, altitude sets the pace: wide shots of the urban grid, an orbit around Promenade du Peyrou, a breath towards the Occitanie horizons. A precise shot list before the flight saves wasted minutes in the edit. In Montpellier as across the department (34), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
Demographically the fastest-growing of France's big cities, Montpellier consumes plenty of aerial imagery: housing programmes in the Port Marianne and Cambacérès districts, health-cluster campuses and clinics, Languedoc vineyards on the immediate outskirts, and tourism from the historic follies to the Palavas beaches — ideal ground for photography and inspection alike. The Montpellier-Méditerranée (Fréjorgues) CTR covers the south-east of the conurbation down to the coast, and the Lapeyronie hospital helipad generates frequent medical rotations: local coordination is essential.

Airspace and formalities in Montpellier
The shooting plan in Montpellier is set around controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport Montpellier-Méditerranée): 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 →
