Drone aerial video in Villeurbanne
Directors love Villeurbanne for its reflections: at daybreak, the Rhône mirrors the city and every tracking shot gains depth. We plan those light windows at the scout. In Villeurbanne as across the department (69), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
The market is that of a fast-changing city: the iconic 1930s Gratte-Ciel towers and their contemporary extension, regeneration of the Grandclément and Gratte-Ciel districts, the La Doua campus in constant energy retrofit, and numerous co-owned buildings needing roof and façade inspections before renovation. Villeurbanne sits squarely inside the Lyon-Bron CTR, the business airfield being only a few kilometres east: nearly every flight needs an air-navigation protocol and a capped altitude.
