Saint-Nazaire and shipbuilding

From our campsite in Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef discover Saint-Nazaire, famous for its huge shipbuilding industry in France. Along with Nantes, Saint-Nazaire is an important city in the Great West.

The Saint-Nazaire shipyard is one of only 6 in the world to build ships over 300 meters long.

You can visit the port of Saint-Nazaire, the city’s raison d’être. Learn about the port’s history and its importance to the city.

Don’t miss the famous shipyards, where you’ll feel very small next to these immense liners.

Saint-Nazaire’s history

For an idyllic walk, take the “Chemin des Douaniers” for breathtaking views of the cliffs and beaches.

Don’t miss a visit to the beautiful quarters of the era, as well as Escale Atlantique, a center that retraces the history and life aboard ocean liners, where you’ll be immersed in the world of these giants of the seas. You’ll discover over 200 objects from vintage ships. A city full of history, and very pleasant to visit.
