Cayenne
In Cayenne, our flights take place inside the Félix-Éboué airport control zone, after air traffic control approval; the area around the route du Tigre also borders a no-fly zone. There we delivered a 3D model of the hospital in 24 hours in February 2026 for an architecture competition, photographed the route du Tigre for a widening study, surveyed 2.8 km of the Fouillée creek in September 2026, partly from a pirogue (15 mm orthophoto, log jams, video), photographed the mudflats for shorebird monitoring, carried out thermography of the rooftop solar plant of the territorial archives, and inspected and measured roofs for the social landlord and the territorial authority. Offshore, we photographed the Enfant Perdu lighthouse from a boat in December 2025 for the lighthouse and beacon service.
