🏢 FACADE INSPECTION · AUXERRE (89) · €300–1,200 PER JOB
Drone facade inspection in Auxerre
Quayside buildings exposed to the damp of the Yonne, old façades in the centre, recent blocks: in Auxerre, the drone photographs every elevation with a telephoto lens, detects cracks and delamination, and feeds renovation files. In Auxerre as across the department (89), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
Prefecture of the Yonne, Auxerre offers from the right bank one of Burgundy's finest river skylines: Saint-Étienne cathedral, Saint-Germain abbey with its Carolingian crypts and Saint-Pierre church terraced above the Yonne quays and the marina. The clock tower and half-timbered houses make a highly photogenic old town. Auxerre-Branches aerodrome (LFLA) to the north-west is the main constraint; flights along the Yonne and the Nivernais canal call for the usual care over busy waterways. The Auxerre economy blends administration, food processing, timber and above all wine: Chablis and its grands crus are twenty minutes away, with the Irancy and Saint-Bris vineyards.

Flight rules in Auxerre
Flying along a façade in Auxerre remains possible under the controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Auxerre-Branches (LFLA)): these very-low-height flights, hugging the building, need a simple protocol our pilot sets up.
Façade inspection is flown close to the building, generally in the specific category in town (prior declaration) with a ground safety perimeter; outside built-up areas the open category is usually enough. Full regulations and rates: facade inspection across France →

Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Auxerre?
For the survey itself, yes in most cases: the drone photographs every defect in high definition from base to cornice, at a fraction of scaffolding cost. If contact testing proves necessary, the report pinpoints where — a real saving for buildings in Auxerre.
How accurate is the photographic survey?
At 5 m from the facade, resolution reaches roughly 1 mm per pixel: microcracks, joint defects and early corrosion are clearly identifiable and measurable on the images.
