Saint Nazaire holds an interesting position on France's Atlantic coast below the attractive swampland of La Brière and within a short drive of Nantes – very much at the heart of the Loire-Atlantique region. The town definitely has an appeal for family holidays, with twenty beaches lining the Saint Nazaire coast. The Pont de Saint Nazaire is the huge bridge that has become something of a symbol of the town and worth a trip across if you're hiring a car from Saint Nazaire. Car rental is available from our location at Boulevard Willy Brandt.
The submarine named Espadon is open for viewing at the harbour and symbolises the town's maritime past. The award winning Heritage Museum – Ecomusée – is a worthy supplement to the submarine tour. Take up car hire from Saint Nazaire and visit the beach at Trébézy just off the D92, or the main beach at Saint-Marc-sur-Mer for a relaxing day catching some rays; the picturesque bay of La Baule is also a short drive via the D213. You can be in Nantes in less than an hour on the N171/N165, and visit the famous Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne.
