Around Arras, large footprints are measured fast and well by drone: development zones, logistics platforms, farms and quarries across Hauts-de-France. A one-hour flight yields an orthophoto, contour lines and a georeferenced point cloud. From Grand'Place et place des Héros to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Arras and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

Prefecture of the Pas-de-Calais, Arras owns in its Grand'Place and Place des Héros a unique Flemish-Baroque ensemble: 155 ordered arcaded facades, dominated by the UNESCO-listed Gothic belfry and the town hall. Beneath the city, the medieval boves and the Wellington quarry recall the 1917 Battle of Arras; the Canadian memorial at Vimy, 10 km north, commands respect and restraint in filming. Arras-Roclincourt aerodrome (LFQD) borders the city to the north, and the Main Square Festival takes over the Vauban citadel every summer with its restrictions. The Arras economy blends administration, food processing (Ingredia), logistics on the Paris-Lille axis and growing remembrance tourism.
