St Nazaire cruise port guide
Saint-Nazaire is a city on the west coast of France. Housed in a fortified lock in the harbor is the Espadon, a post-WWII submarine. The Escal’Atlantic museum, a life-size reconstruction of an ocean liner, celebrates the city’s shipbuilding past. To the west, the Tumulus de Dissignac is an ancient burial mound with Neolithic rock carvings. To the north, canals cross the salt marshes of Brière Regional Natural Park.
About St Nazaire
Saint-Nazaire is a major French Atlantic port city at the mouth of the Loire River, world-famous as the birthplace of great ocean liners — the Normandie, France, and Queen Mary 2 were all built here at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard. The WWII submarine base and the Écomusée de Saint-Nazaire document the city's industrial and wartime heritage.
