  St Nazaire : Profile

Docking

Best known for its modern shipbuilding and the 2nd World war submaine pens. The town was completely destroyed during the war and has been rebuild in a rather nondescript style.

The large outer harbour is for cruise ships, and yachts use the lock to the east to pass into Bassin de St Nazaire.
