Drone aerial video in Poitiers
In Poitiers, the geometry of streets and squares draws perfect leading lines for the aerial camera: graphic top-down shots, then an opening move towards Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine horizon. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Poitiers and its department (86) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
The local market revolves around exceptional Romanesque heritage — Notre-Dame-la-Grande and its sculpted façade, the Saint-Jean baptistery among France's oldest Christian buildings —, the Futuroscope theme park and its technology park (10,000 jobs) keen on spectacular imagery, the university campuses and the Clain valley, a setting for real-estate and tourism assignments. Poitiers offers workable airspace: Poitiers-Biard airport, on the plateau's immediate western edge, requires simple coordination, and no major military zone burdens the city.

Flying in Poitiers: the local framework
The shooting plan in Poitiers is set around controlled airspace (Aéroport de Poitiers-Biard en bordure ouest): 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 →
