St Nazaire Port Information
St Nazaire ferry port is situated on the western coast of France near Nantes. Saint Nazaire port is more than 3000 years old and is the 4th busiest behind Marseille. Saint-Nazaire has a long tradition of fishing and shipbuilding and its harbour sits on the left bank of the Loire river estuary.
During World War II Germany built a U Boat submarine base in the harbour built to withstand almost any bombing as the ceiling was 30ft thick concrete. The base is still standing where you can now enjoy a drink in one of the bars or cafes.
After the war the town needing rebuilding and since then one of the major industries here was shipbuilding, specialising in large tankers. In fact Cunards latest RMS Queen Mary 2 was built here in Saint Nazaire.St Nazaire Ferry Terminal
