You can now stroll in the cells where the tourist office, the central ticket office, the VIP...

With its 301 m long facade, the submarine base was built by the German army in 1941/42 to house the submarines (U-Boote). Formerly a defensive fortress of the German army housing its submarines, the base is now a place of cultural and tourist activities that houses the Escal'Atlantic, the VIP, the LIFE ... This monument has been awarded the label Heritage of the 20th century. Stroll through the alveoli, climb freely on the roof: the view is superb. In summer, discover the history of the building and its reconquest during guided tours.

La Base renversante
Pour celles et ceux qui connaîssent un peu la ville de St Nazaire, les commentaires à son sujet sont des plus paradoxaux.
L'un des endroits de St Naz illustrant à merveille ce paradoxe est la Base sous-marine.
Construite par les Allemands au milieu de la 2nde Guerre Mondiale, la Base est aujourd'hui le théâtre (qui se trouve à son côté d'ailleurs) d'activité aussi diverses que variées: visites patrimoniales, culturelles, historiques autour, dans, sur et au dessus de ce bloc de béton qui, il faut bien le dire, ne donne pas envie de prime abord.
''Ne te fie pas aux apparences, elles sont souvent trompeuses.'': ce perchoir à oiseaux, marins entre autres espèces (oui, oui), abrite également des jardins, une vue des plus prenantes, un bistrot, une office du tourisme, des expositions temporaires, une boutique ''souvenirs'' dont la qualité est aussi surprenante que les prix proposés, etc.
Vivement conseillée que vous fassiez la visite payante ou non d'ailleurs.

Un immanquable de Saint-Nazaire, véritable élément de l'histoire de la ville ! Il faut absolument monter en haut de la base, sur son toit, vous y trouverez des petites originalités d'artistes différents et une vue sur la ville.
pas de reality, unmissable during the visit saint Nazaire because the Tourist Office is inside.
