Itinerary

1. Terrasse Panoramique de l’Ecluse Fortifiee
It’s true that the first approach to the submarine base, or the fortified lock of Saint-Nazaire, is not very pleasing.
2. 15 Av. de Saint-Hubert
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. Monument à l'Abolition de l'Esclavage
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. Quai des Marées
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
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. Rue Joseph-Hippolyte Durand
Throughout France, the Second World War left traces of its passage.
7. Quai de la Jetée Ouest
Looking at the horizon is the kind of reflex that accompanies us all when we find ourselves facing the sea or the ocean.
8. Place du Commando
Ideally located opposite the Loire estuary, Place du Commando is the new festive and friendly heart of the city. What's new, then?
9. 27 Rue Ferdinand Buisson
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
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. Boulevard du Président Wilson
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. Avenue de la Havane
More than 80% destroyed during the war, Saint-Nazaire returned a naval rather than an architectural profile to its visitors.
13. Saint-Nazaire
If the setting of the walk is as it is, the visit of Saint-Nazaire is not finished.
14. Saint-Nazaire
“A thousand billion thousand scuttles”, but what does Tintin do in Saint-Nazaire?
15. Base Sous-Marine de Saint-Nazaire
Impressive in the landscape of Saint-Nazaire, the submarine base is a strong element of the city, literally and figuratively.
16. Escal'Atlantic
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. Chantiers de l'Atlantique
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. Le Grand Café
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. Église de Saint-Nazaire
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
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. Le Théâtre
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
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
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.
