We use visorando with the IGN map base. €12, but the advantage is that you get other people’s tried and tested walks and thus avoid ending up on paths that no longer exist etc. It was also useful with our gîte as a way of giving people local walks.

I use rainviewer when I want to know, well, if it’s going to rain sooner or later.
I’m not in love with it, so if anyone has a better similar one trick pony for simply showing radar, please advise.
I used to use Raindar II for years because it was simple and visible, but lately it doesn’t seem to work well.

Citymapper
I use it to navigate the Paris metro , bus and RER, but it is also useful in about 10 other French cities and a dozen in the UK (not that any of you would need any help there).
Yes, you can get some of the same thing using Google Maps, but this seems a lot more flexible and comprehensive. It will also track your progress on the metro (or bus) and tell you when to get off.
I read that as where to get off the first time. That’s quite confrontational in British English. 
We use RainToday, which is just one hour ahead but tells us if we should wait a bit before going for a walk!
American English as well. There are certainly more polite ways of saying it, though I don’t think Americans would really give it that much thought.

I see gazillions of aerial photos and videos taken over villages and towns in France, I think the rules get ignored most of the time in typical French fashion.
Obvs. if you flew a drone over a famous chateau when it’s busy, or a big sporting event you might get your collar felt.

2 really good apps -
- Myradar warns you when its about to start raining, and for how long. Also provides weather warnings. The display is pretty brilliant too.
- Windy - great weather app, also allows you to compare the different forecasts based on the weather models being used.
