🏢 FACADE INSPECTION · AVIGNON (84) · €300–1,200 PER JOB
Drone facade inspection in Avignon
From damp bases to high cornices, buildings in Avignon show layered defects: the drone records them level by level, and the report ranks them by urgency. From Palais des Papes to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Avignon and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Avignon's sky is shared between Avignon-Provence airport to the south-east, the Pujaut airfield to the north-west and a mistral that blows hard down the Rhône valley: weather windows require serious planning. The walled old town, UNESCO-listed, is dense and heavily touristed — built-up-area scenario and morning slots recommended, with reinforced restrictions during the July festival. Demand is driven by world-famous heritage — the Popes' Palace, the Avignon bridge, the Rocher des Doms — by Côtes du Rhône wine growing (Châteauneuf-du-Pape fifteen kilometres away, a big buyer of estate imagery), by festival events and by Provençal real estate between the Rhône and the Luberon.

Flight rules in Avignon
Flying along a façade in Avignon remains possible under the controlled airspace (Aéroport d'Avignon-Provence): 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 →

Frequently asked questions
Facade inspection in Avignon: what budget should you plan?
Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Avignon, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Avignon?
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 Avignon.
Can you inspect a facade on a busy street?
Yes, with a specific-category flight declared to the préfecture and a ground safety perimeter managed by an assistant. We often work early in the morning to minimise disturbance to pedestrians.
