Drone aerial thermal imaging in Auxerre

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Auxerre

In Auxerre, the thermal camera reveals what damp from the Yonne and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté winters do to buildings: thermal bridges, wet insulation, network leaks. One flight at daybreak maps an entire building. With 34,634 inhabitants, Auxerre generates steady demand in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.

Prefecture of the Yonne, Auxerre offers from the right bank one of Burgundy's finest river skylines: Saint-Étienne cathedral, Saint-Germain abbey with its Carolingian crypts and Saint-Pierre church terraced above the Yonne quays and the marina. The clock tower and half-timbered houses make a highly photogenic old town. Auxerre-Branches aerodrome (LFLA) to the north-west is the main constraint; flights along the Yonne and the Nivernais canal call for the usual care over busy waterways. The Auxerre economy blends administration, food processing, timber and above all wine: Chablis and its grands crus are twenty minutes away, with the Irancy and Saint-Bris vineyards.

€500–1,800 per job — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. The exact quote depends on the site, the deliverable and the airspace context in Auxerre.

Airspace and formalities in Auxerre

Thermographic flights in Auxerre happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Auxerre-Branches (LFLA)) 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 Auxerre: what budget should you plan?

Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Auxerre, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

When is the best time for thermography in Auxerre?

Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Auxerre (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.

Does the thermal camera measure exact temperatures?

Yes, provided a calibrated radiometric camera is used and material emissivity and ambient conditions are entered: typical accuracy is then ±2°C, sufficient for any building or photovoltaic survey.
