Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Grasse

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Grasse

Surveying sloped ground in Grasse on foot takes days; by drone, a few hours: digital terrain models, volume calculations and cross-sections come from a single photogrammetric flight, with centimetre RTK accuracy. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Grasse and its department (06) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

World capital of perfume — its know-how is inscribed on UNESCO's intangible heritage list — Grasse terraces its medieval old town at 350 metres altitude, between historic factories (Fragonard, Molinard, Galimard), fields of May roses and jasmine, and panoramas plunging towards the bay of Cannes. The relief genuinely matters for drone pilots: the 120-metre height limit is measured from the ground of these steep hills. To the south, the Cannes-Mandelieu CTR borders the sector, and the local helipad adds helicopter traffic towards Monaco. The economy blends the flavour and fragrance industry (Robertet, Mane nearby), tourism and high-end residential property.
