🌾 PRECISION AGRICULTURE · DIJON (21) · €8–30 PER HECTARE
Drone precision agriculture in Dijon
Around Dijon, the arable land of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté is ideal drone country: biomass maps, variable-rate nitrogen plans and emergence counts across blocks no farmer can walk in full. With 158,002 inhabitants, Dijon generates steady demand in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
Dijon's sky has become simpler since the former Dijon-Longvic base closed to commercial traffic, but the airfield remains with light and residual military activity south-east of the city: a check on the Géoportail drone map is required before every mission. The protected city centre — one of France's largest — falls under the built-up-area scenario with notification to the Côte-d'Or prefecture. Demand rests on heritage (the ducal palace, glazed-tile roofs, the Cité de la gastronomie et du vin) and above all on wine: the Route des Grands Crus starts at the city gates, and estates from Gevrey-Chambertin to Nuits-Saint-Georges buy plot mapping, frost monitoring and brand imagery all year round.

Rates
€8–30 per hectare — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Pricing reflects the conditions in Dijon: area, access constraints, any authorisations and the delivery format.
Airspace and formalities in Dijon
Some plots around Dijon fall under controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Dijon-Longvic (trafic résiduel)): 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 Dijon: what budget should you plan?
Allow €8–30 per hectare — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Dijon, 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 Dijon?
Multispectral imagery measures canopy reflectance: it reveals nitrogen or water stress one to two weeks before it becomes visible to the eye. On Bourgogne-Franche-Comté farms, that converts into prescription maps your equipment can use directly.
Can the drone spray my fields?
Yes, within a precise derogation framework since law 2025-365 and its spring 2026 implementing texts: plots with slopes of at least 20%, banana plantations and grapevine mother stock, only with biocontrol, organic-approved or low-risk products. Outside that framework, aerial spraying remains prohibited; we then provide the maps that optimise your conventional sprayer passes.
