Flying in Versailles: the local context
Versailles is a regulatory textbook case: the palace and its estate sit under a permanent no-fly zone — no overflight without an exceptional top-level waiver —, air base 107 at Villacoublay (government helicopters) borders the town to the north-east, and the Saint-Cyr-l'École airfield to the west completes a saturated airspace, all within the constrained Paris conurbation zone.
Outside the royal estate the market exists: private mansions and co-owned buildings in the Notre-Dame and Saint-Louis quarters needing roof inspections, headquarters and administrations, equestrian events and trade shows at the exhibition park, and neighbouring residential towns for upmarket real estate. Our team knows precisely where the boundary runs — to the metre.
