Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Bayonne

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Bayonne

In Bayonne, drone surveys support projects along the Adour and the Nive: banks, flood zones, bridges and land awaiting development. Centimetre-grade orthophotos replace days of ground survey work. From Cathédrale Sainte-Marie (UNESCO) to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Bayonne and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

The local economy blends a commercial port on the Adour (Tarnos), emblematic food production (Bayonne ham, chocolate), aerospace (Dassault in Anglet) and powerful tourism. The Fêtes de Bayonne, among Europe's biggest festive gatherings, are systematically covered by overflight bans. Common missions: real estate, tourism, construction monitoring, surf and sports events on the nearby coast. 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.
