Hi all

I'm planning a trip to France (a bit of road trip tour) and be interested in anyone thoughts / experiences of restrictions on drone flight.

I see there is a French geoportal website that provides the no-fly zones and height restrictions; but would be interested in anyone has experienced any other issues with authorities etc.

Thanks.
 
Just got back from Paris, Dijon and Burgundy. Since the country is on high terror alert, I never took the drone out in Paris. Especially since all the touristy areas were no-fly zones anyways, I decided it was best not to risk it. There was also a huge military/police presence around the main tourist sites so I didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention.

However, I did fly a ton in Burgundy since it was mainly farms/vineyards with very few people around. Just use common sense and you will be fine.
