What to expect

  1. Terrasse Panoramique de l’Ecluse Fortifiee
    Pass by
    It’s true that the first approach to the submarine base, or the fortified lock of Saint-Nazaire, is not very pleasing.
  2. Pass by
    On the edge of the Loire estuary, the ecomuseum could not be better placed to retrace the entire history of Saint-Nazaire, its port and its major industries.
  3. Pass by
    In constant contact with the waves and the sea air, which of course do their work over time, this memorial is really not the easiest to interpret.
  4. Pass by
    All over Saint-Nazaire, you will see, the dark history of the Second World War will remind you. Through former remnants of blatant defense that have become true emblems of local heritage.
  5. Saint-Nazaire
    Pass by
    It’s at the entrance of this dirt advance that your path certainly stops suddenly, but not in the most unpleasant way if you decide to go all the way.
  6. Pass by
    Throughout France, the Second World War left traces of its passage.
  7. Pass by
    Looking at the horizon is the kind of reflex that accompanies us all when we find ourselves facing the sea or the ocean.
  8. Pass by
    Ideally located opposite the Loire estuary, Place du Commando is the new festive and friendly heart of the city. What's new, then?
  9. Pass by
    It is obvious that you are right now on the seafront of Saint-Nazaire and for that you do not need us to realize it.
  10. Saint-Nazaire
    Pass by
    Landing, walking, running, pedalling, swimming, the seafront of Saint-Nazaire offers you a wide choice of possibilities to let yourself go facing the ocean.
  11. Pass by
    After the sea, here comes the land. Here you are in the Garden of Plants. Created in 1886 by the Nantes landscaper François Aubry, this English garden was imagined as a place to walk, with wide lawns, winding paths and rare trees.
  12. Pass by
    More than 80% destroyed during the war, Saint-Nazaire returned a naval rather than an architectural profile to its visitors.
  13. Saint-Nazaire
    Pass by
    If the setting of the walk is as it is, the visit of Saint-Nazaire is not finished.
  14. Saint-Nazaire
    Pass by
    “A thousand billion thousand scuttles”, but what does Tintin do in Saint-Nazaire?
  15. Base Sous-Marine de Saint-Nazaire
    Pass by
    Impressive in the landscape of Saint-Nazaire, the submarine base is a strong element of the city, literally and figuratively.
  16. Escal'Atlantic
    Pass by
    What if we offer you to leave the mainland for a new visit, but for a fee, to dive into the world of the mastodons of the sea?
  17. Pass by
    From a distance as close as some would say that in Saint-Nazaire, it is the great ballet of cranes and gantry. Note to which we are obliged to answer: what if you had taken curiosity a step further?
  18. Pass by
    Like the Port-Salut, where it is written on it, the Grand Café can also hardly hide its activity, or rightly its former functions.
  19. Pass by
    Unwittingly involved in a turbulent history, the heritage emblems of Saint-Nazaire have often known two or even three lives to stand before you today.
  20. Saint-Nazaire
    Pass by
    If you’re looking for art in Saint-Nazaire, don’t get tired too quickly, it’s within easy reach in the public space.
  21. Pass by
    Another miraculous example of the destruction of the war is the Simone Veil Theatre, an interesting architectural encounter.
  22. Terrasse Panoramique de l’Ecluse Fortifiee
    Pass by
    You are formal, the further you go, the more you have the Impression that you will find yourself at the foot of the wall. A concrete wall, we presume? If that’s it, don’t panic, let us tell you that the best is to come!
  23. Sous-Marin l'Espadon
    Pass by
    The undeniable treasure of Saint-Nazaire, the submarine Swordfish is today the ultimate representative of the Narwhals class, its submarine launchers of craft built in France in the 1950s.
