Drone precision agriculture in Bordeaux

Free quote — precision agriculture in Bordeaux

The valley farmland around Bordeaux benefits from the Garonne — and the multispectral drone makes the most of it: vigour maps, input zoning, monitoring of the patchwork plots between slopes and valley floor. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Bordeaux: site access, the department's airspace context (33) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.

The Bordeaux-Mérignac CTR, shared with air base 106, covers the west of the conurbation: urban flights require coordination with both civil and military aviation. Sensitive sites abound — the Dassault plant and Mérignac aerospace zone, the Bacalan submarine base, the Aquitaine bridge — and the UNESCO-listed quaysides fall under the built-up-area scenario. The Gironde metropolis is a complete market: booming real estate around Euratlantique and the Bassins à flot, prestigious wine estates (Médoc, Pessac-Léognan, Saint-Émilion) that are heavy users of vineyard mapping and monitoring, river tourism on the Garonne, and structural inspections from the Chaban-Delmas bridge to the Cité du Vin.

Rates

€8–30 per hectare — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. The exact quote depends on the site, the deliverable and the airspace context in Bordeaux.

Flight rules in Bordeaux

Some plots around Bordeaux fall under controlled airspace (CTR de Bordeaux-Mérignac (aéroport et base aérienne 106)): agricultural flights remain possible there at low height after a protocol, with no impact on map quality.

Agricultural flights use the open category over the farm's own plots, away from third parties; drone spraying remains under a strict experimental framework in France — we only provide imagery and diagnostics. Full regulations and rates: precision agriculture across France →

Frequently asked questions

Precision agriculture in Bordeaux: what budget should you plan?

Allow €8–30 per hectare — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bordeaux, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

What does the drone see that I cannot from the edge of my field near Bordeaux?

Multispectral imagery measures canopy reflectance: it reveals nitrogen or water stress one to two weeks before it becomes visible to the eye. On Nouvelle-Aquitaine farms, that converts into prescription maps your equipment can use directly.

How do drone images differ from free satellite imagery?

Resolution (3 to 10 cm/pixel versus 10 m for Sentinel-2), availability (drones fly below clouds, on the exact date needed) and sensors (calibrated multispectral with red-edge bands). For in-field variable-rate management, drones are unmatched.
