Drone aerial thermal imaging in Agen
In Agen, the thermal camera reveals what damp from the Garonne and Nouvelle-Aquitaine winters do to buildings: thermal bridges, wet insulation, network leaks. One flight at daybreak maps an entire building. In Agen as across the department (47), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
The Agen economy relies on food production (IGP prunes, the fruit-and-vegetable sector of Lot-et-Garonne, France's leading orchard), the pioneering Agropole food-tech park, the national prison-service academy (ENAP) and SUA rugby. Drone missions: precision agriculture and orchards, agri-food communication, real estate, construction monitoring, canal river tourism. Prefecture of Lot-et-Garonne, halfway between Bordeaux and Toulouse, Agen is inseparable from its prune — the ente plum dries on the surrounding hillsides — and from its 539-metre canal bridge, one of France's longest, carrying the lateral canal across the Garonne: a splendid aerial subject.

Rates
€500–1,800 per job — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Every mission in Agen is priced on its own facts: area to cover, flight height, expected deliverable and local formalities.
The airspace context in Agen
Thermographic flights in Agen happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Agen-La Garenne (LFBA)) after a protocol: the dawn slots needed for measurement are built into the coordination.
Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions
Aerial thermal imaging in Agen: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Agen, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When is the best time for thermography in Agen?
Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Agen (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.
What time of year should building thermography be done?
From October to April, when the gap between the heated interior and the outside reaches at least 10°C. Flights take place early in the morning, before the sun warms the walls and skews the readings.
