🏢 FACADE INSPECTION · BAYONNE (64) · €300–1,200 PER JOB
Drone facade inspection in Bayonne
In Bayonne, damp rising from the Adour and the Nive marks the façades: saltpetre at street level, blistered render, soiled stone. Drone inspection covers the old centre's narrow streets and inner courtyards without closing the road. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Bayonne and its department (64) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Historic capital of the northern Basque Country, Bayonne stacks its red-and-green half-timbered houses along the Nive, beneath the UNESCO-listed Sainte-Marie cathedral (Way of St James) and within Vauban's fortifications. The main airspace constraint comes from Biarritz-Pays Basque airport (LFBZ), whose CTR covers much of the BAB conurbation (Bayonne-Anglet-Biarritz): most urban flights require preparation via the drone map and, where needed, coordination. The local economy blends a commercial port on the Adour (Tarnos), emblematic food production (Bayonne ham, chocolate), aerospace (Dassault in Anglet) and powerful tourism.

Flying in Bayonne: the local framework
Flying along a façade in Bayonne remains possible under the controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Biarritz-Pays basque (LFBZ)): 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 Bayonne: what budget should you plan?
Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bayonne, 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 Bayonne?
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 Bayonne.
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.
