Often perceived only as an industrial city, Saint-Nazaire is actually a surprising city, resolutely turned towards the ocean. Rebuilt after the Second World War, it is home to no less than twenty beaches scattered along its seafront and coastal path.

The majestic Saint-Nazaire Bridge

Impossible to miss this giant of steel and concrete! The Saint-Nazaire Bridge, with its unmistakable stays, spans the Loire estuary for more than 3 kilometers. Crossing it by car offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Submarine Base

Right in the heart of the city, the imposing Submarine Base built by the Germans during the war has been masterfully rehabilitated. Today, it houses captivating museums, cultural spaces, and a roof terrace offering stunning views of the port and the estuary.
