Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Antibes

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Antibes

Shoreline, port structures, land reclaimed from the Mediterranean: in Antibes, drone photogrammetry delivers georeferenced orthophotos and 3D models, even over areas hard to survey on foot. With 71,708 inhabitants, Antibes generates steady demand in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.

The economic fabric is dense: yachting and refit at Port Vauban, hotels, prestige real estate, and the Sophia Antipolis technology park at the city gates, home to tech companies keen on aerial imagery and digital twins of their campuses. Yacht photographers, estate agents and festivals (Jazz à Juan) feed the local drone market. Antibes-Juan-les-Pins lines up superb subjects: the ramparts of old Antibes dropping into the sea, Fort Carré, Port Vauban — Europe's largest marina with its billionaires' quay — and Cap d'Antibes fringed with villas.

Frequently asked questions

Surveying & photogrammetry in Antibes: what budget should you plan?

Allow €800–3,000 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Antibes, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Antibes?

With GNSS-measured ground control points, the orthophoto and point cloud reach 2–5 cm planimetric accuracy — enough for a preliminary design survey. For legally binding documents we work under a partner chartered surveyor covering Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

Does vegetation interfere with photogrammetric surveys?

Yes: photogrammetry measures the visible surface, so the canopy rather than the ground beneath. For wooded areas, we offer drone LiDAR, which penetrates vegetation and reconstructs the bare terrain.
