Drone aerial thermal imaging in Bourg-en-Bresse
In Bourg-en-Bresse, aerial thermography primarily serves energy renovation: it visualises heat loss from every roof and façade, an objective baseline for insulation work on Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes homes and residential blocks. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Bourg-en-Bresse and its department (01) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Prefecture of the Ain, Bourg-en-Bresse takes pride in the royal monastery of Brou: a dazzling flamboyant-Gothic church, polychrome glazed-tile roofs and a triple cloister built by Margaret of Austria — voted France's favourite monument in 2014, a first-rate aerial subject (with the monument's authorisations). The half-timbered old town and market halls complete the scene. Bourg-Ceyzériat aerodrome (LFHS) to the south-east is the main point of attention, in airspace otherwise marked by the Lyon-Geneva corridors. The local economy relies on emblematic food production (Bresse AOP poultry, the world's first appellation poultry), industrial vehicle bodywork (Renault Trucks), the Oyonnax plastics valley nearby and services.
