Why would you want to risk it. There is plenty of drone footage on U-tube. It would ruin your holiday having your drone confiscated and paying a large fine....Hi, I’m going to Paris in about two months and I have a DJI mini 3. I wanna know how I can fly in Paris because I know it’s illegal. Are you allowed to fly outside the metropolitan zone or can you fly without being caught?
sorry man youre right. i edited my post sorry for any problems causedThe following is personal opinion and not an official or unofficial stance of my position as a moderator on this forum or any other staff!
Many major metropolitan centers in Europe are using DJI’s AeroScope and other solutions to track drone flights. The likelihood of flying without being detected in Paris is likely slim and none. Flying legally and asking for direction on how to do so is fine in my book, but to openly ask how to do so illegally on an open forum leaves me shaking my head. Not only does it indicate what type of pilot you are on your home turf, but to disrespect the laws and regulations of a place you are going to be a guest at just defies any sound logic in my opinion.
Okay that’s fine.sorry man youre right. i edited my post sorry for any problems caused
It is very much illegal, per the French government.Okay that’s fine.
I don’t know that it is illegal per se to fly a drone in Paris, but I’m sure with France being part of the EU and the EU having pretty much a standardized set of regulations there are steps to be taken to allow you to fly legally in France.
I’m sure there are members here that could lend guidance on that process. Here is a start:
I am a non-EU visitor / drone operator ‘open’ category | EASA
EASA | European Union Aviation Safety Agency: The European Union Authority for aviation safetywww.easa.europa.eu

Hoping you get things all set up and have a great trip.

Drone Laws Paris [March 2023] [Rules & How To Register]
August 29, 2023 For a long time, Paris has been a place where people with no rules have gone to escape the rules. That's why so many artists and writers movediscoveryoftech.com
I too was contemplating taking one of my smaller drones on my upcoming trip to Paris. I went through all the paperwork and am now registered to fly in France. However, I have good news and bad news. First of all, It's legal to fly drones in France. Further down on the thread is how one can go about doing the administrative work to get certification. The bad news is that there are permanent restricted areas in France where regardless of whether or not you and your drone are legally registered to fly you cant fly there. The restrictions are similar to flying in US National Parks. Further research turned up a restricted area map, and I can say from looking at the map, most of France is a restricted area. So, my work was a waste of time. Paris and the surrounding areas are on the list. Here's the link to the map.Hi, I’m going to Paris in about two months and I have a DJI mini 3.
