🗺️ SURVEYING & PHOTOGRAMMETRY · AVIGNON (84) · €800–3,000 PER DAY
Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Avignon
In Avignon, drone surveys support projects along the Rhône: banks, flood zones, bridges and land awaiting development. Centimetre-grade orthophotos replace days of ground survey work. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Avignon: site access, the department's airspace context (84) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.
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. 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.

Flying in Avignon: the local framework
Photogrammetric flight plans in Avignon are set within the controlled airspace ceilings (Aéroport d'Avignon-Provence): ground resolution is guaranteed by adapting height and overlap, with the protocol cleared before the mission.
Photogrammetric surveys fly in the open category over controlled sites, on automated grids below 120 m; urban footprints or sites crossed by third parties move to the specific category with a declaration. Full regulations and rates: surveying & photogrammetry across France →

Frequently asked questions
Surveying & photogrammetry in Avignon: what budget should you plan?
Allow €800–3,000 per day — 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.
What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Avignon?
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 a drone survey replace a chartered surveyor?
No for legally binding documents (boundary demarcation, land division): that is the chartered surveyor's legal monopoly. Yes for technical studies: our deliverables feed directly into civil works design, volume calculations and environmental studies.
