Drone construction site monitoring in Carcassonne
Around Carcassonne, construction spreads wide: business parks, housing estates, public facilities. From the air the whole footprint fits in one image — earthworks, cranes, stockpiles and roads — for fact-based project steering. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Carcassonne and its department (11) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Carcassonne holds two UNESCO listings: the medieval Cité with its 52 towers restored by Viollet-le-Duc — Europe's largest fortified ensemble, 2 million visitors a year — and the Canal du Midi crossing the Saint-Louis bastide. Flying over the Cité, a heavily visited national monument, requires specific authorisations (monument administrator, prefecture); Carcassonne airport (LFMK), with regular low-cost traffic, additionally places the west of the town under its CTR. The 14 July fireworks are covered by strict bans. The Aude economy relies on heritage tourism, winegrowing (Cabardès, Malepère, Corbières) and wind power.
