Drone aerial video in Valence

Free quote — aerial video in Valence

A film shot in Valence has a ready-made opening: arriving along the Rhône, revealing the bridges, then Château de Crussol en face de la ville 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 Valence: site access, the department's airspace context (26) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.

Prefecture of the Drôme on the left bank of the Rhône, Valence marks the "gateway to the South": an old town around Saint-Apollinaire cathedral, the Peynet bandstand, the Jouvet park overlooking the river, and orchards and lavender fields at the city gates. Valence-Chabeuil aerodrome (LFLU), to the east, is the main aeronautical point of attention; the Rhône corridor also concentrates motorway, high-speed rail and river routes that trigger the rules on overflying transport infrastructure. Valence's economy relies on food and gastronomy (the Vallée de la Gastronomie, Maison Pic), Rhône-corridor logistics and fruit and wine agriculture (Crozes-Hermitage nearby).

The airspace context in Valence

The shooting plan in Valence is set around controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Valence-Chabeuil (LFLU)): 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 →
