Drone filming: Notre-Dame de la Garde construction site, Marseille

Drone-Pictures at the heart of the restoration work on the Bonne-Mère

On July 18, 2025, we were flying high above Marseille’s highest peak!

Thanks to our experience in aerial photography in complex and urban environments, Drone-Pictures was authorized to fly over the site in July 2025. The above image was captured just before the tarpaulin was placed around the Virgin and Child. It is a rare document, showing the statue in its raw state, surrounded by scaffolding, against a clear blue sky.

🎥 Video and photos taken by drone in 6K with a Mavic 4 Pro.

• At different heights and angles, to capture the volume of the scaffolding,
• From the sides of the site and the slopes of the hill for an overall view of the sanctuary.
