Drone aerial video in Tours

Free quote — aerial video in Tours

In Tours, the Loire and the Cher 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. With 136,463 inhabitants, Tours generates steady demand in Centre-Val de Loire: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.

Tours' position at the heart of château country (Villandry, Amboise, Chenonceau within the hour) makes it an ideal base for heritage and tourism imagery. Add Vouvray and Montlouis vineyards, offices in the Deux-Lions district, and steady inspection demand on old tuffeau-stone buildings — a moisture-sensitive stone drones can document without scaffolding. Tours-Val de Loire airport, immediately north of the centre, retains a military footprint and a CTR covering the city: most local missions require a protocol.

Local regulations: flying in Tours

The shooting plan in Tours is set around controlled airspace (CTR de Tours-Val de Loire (emprise militaire)): 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 →

Which aerial shots work best in Tours?

Reveals of Place Plumereau et Vieux-Tours and wide shots tying the city to its landscape — Centre-Val de Loire, 136,463 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.
