It is an impressive sculpture. Makes sure you visit it at low tide to get the full effect.

It is what it is, we took van down and stayed the night. Great little spot. Nice easy walk to the town.

Found this on the map on the way to our next destination so just had to stop and look. Not seen anything like it before 😁No problem parking .

If you are a photographer and can choose any day of the year to visit then try for a date that has sunset around high tide and shoot between the hour before and the hour after, there are many angles all around the beach, on the sea wall and a look out platform accessed by some steps at either end of the Serpent section of beach. Once the head is visible and accessible understandably the world and their partners will be in selfie heaven. As an art instalation I liked it a lot. There is a caravan park (Camping Mindin) that we stayed in which has a key code gate directly onto the beach promenade very handy. The site is set in a wooded glade and was very pleasant. As a beach holiday you are on an estuary but it is sand though small with a lot of the section being underwater at high tide, if you want a larger sandy experience walk with the sea on your right and you will come to a large sandy bay with a controlled swimming area. I liked the place.

I had seen pictures of this sculpture, but did not realise just how big the sculpture is! Make sure that you time your visit well as the sculpture may be partially or totally submerged if the tide is rising in the estuary! You can get up close to the sculpture on the beach - taking lots of photos from different angles. There is parking nearby and a walking trail along the coastline.

Great place. Worthy to stop by and enjoy it.

Serpent d'Océan," which translates to "Ocean Serpent," is a large-scale aluminum sculpture by Huang Yong Ping that stretches across the beach in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, France. It represents the skeleton of a massive sea serpent, with its vertebrae and head rising and falling with the tides. The sculpture is a permanent installation and has been described as both a visual art piece and a cultural

This was really a thrilling experience... I went on a bicycle and crossing this bridge made me think of the people closest to me. It was a relaxing Friday, I was on my bike and nearly done with my tour. The Eurovelo told me to cross the bridge. It was impressive at first. Then when getting on the road, I wasn't sure anymore.... There were a lot of cars and only a lane of about 30 centimeters. I started going up the bridge and increasingly felt the wind pressing me towards the cars on the left side, when there was no physical barrier between me and them. While mounting, I started praying and thinking about all my relatives and friends. God, I wish I had written my testament. I had flashbacks of all my happiest moments in life, but I wasn't ready to go. Then on the way downhill the wind was coming from two directions and the cars were going past me. Oh, what Adrenalin. Forget sex, drugs or bungee jumping. This is really the thing. Then when having magnificently survived this bridge, I had to sit on a bench for half an hour. It was like I had been pardoned before my hanging. I mean really, who in God's name would ever plan this. This is officially part of the Eurovelo. These guys thought that the painted 30 centimeters were enough. While being uncertain about whether this was actually intended, the occasional sign sad something about cyclists and paying attention. Thanks for that.... If you feel like you have too much security and stability in your life, then ride this bridge on the bicycle, otherwise you might consider a slightly less death-encountering transportation activity.

Ride the bridge by bike !!!! An amazing Experience ! Done in mai 2024 ! 🚵🏻🌉🚵🏻

Nice long bridge to drive over with magnificent views

Bad enough for cyclists, but I suggest you AVOID on a motorcycle as well unless you are absolutely sure the wind is flat calm.

Amazing bit of engineering x great views and a memory !

Lovely views and great cycle path

Winter is coming and the climate is a bit cold but thanks to the beautiful sunrise and sunset of this place...it really warms my heart.

Really enjoyed this little visit. Only takes about an hour to see the sub, but allow yourself anither 20-30 mins to see the view from the top of the building. Fascinating inside, really seems like a crazy jumble of complex machinery, but it must have made sense to the sailors who operated it. There's an audio guide in English too, with useful info and stories triggered as you pass specific points. Quite cramped, no hope of wheelchair access I'm afraid. Good little gift shop, toilets on site, and plenty of free parking.

Nice tour of the Espadon where i was able to walk through the sub. They provided an audio guide in English. Very well done and very tight in there. Take the stairs to top of museum where you have a great view of the Uboat base across the way. Gives you a perspective of the massive size of the base.

Best 13€ you'll ever spend. This a a MUST if you're visiting Saint-Nazaire. Really fun and educational, a big win/win.

Very cool experience would recommend. Staff was nice and friendly and spoke good enough english. The prices were reasonable and the headsets were ok had a problem with it not sitting on my head right but was fine. The submarine was very accessible and had a-lot of interesting facts overall a good experience especially if you’ve never been in a submarine. The gift shop was well priced and had some cool stuff. Theres also a view deck on the building with some cool views of the bay

Very nice place! The audio guide was interesting and the inside of the submarine was very authentic. The gift shop was also good compared to other museums

Interesting to see the submarine, but they explained nothing about the WWII submarine pen in which it is housed. Odd.

Great experience, mid week so it was quiet, limited access if there are groups going around the Submarine

The base is a sad and run down hulk of its former glory. It could be a major attraction but needs some investment. WWII pundits and history buffs would have appreciated an opportunity to have an exhibition on the history of the naval base, linking the dock to the sinking of Bismarck (as she was on the route here), or opération ‘Chariot’. Feels like all these were erased… The sunken sailing ship is a good epitome of its current state.

Historic site of interest. You can get on to the roof now. Use the very large Long ramp.

Amazing, If you are interested in nazi mega structures & can see past the surroundings, a untidy port town typical of everywhere in the world. Left thinking about the efforts of the slave labour required to construct. Such recent history.

If you’re interested in world war 2. Sites this is a great place to go to see one of the German u boat stations free entry easy access!

Super cool place to visit, a lot of history to be seen.

Worth a visit, free to enter and good views shown over the port from the roof (accessible from a long ramp across the road) next to the carrefour supermarket.Tourist info and gift shop are based inside the sub pens

As a Second World War nerd, this place had to be visited when I was in the area. What a place, it's easy to build these kind of structures with the Organisation Todt slave labour. Still, it's a brilliant lump of concrete. Free to visit, plus you can go on the roof. I also recommend doing the first French submarine visit which is in the dry dock over the harbour. If you have ever been to the Submarine in Portsmouth, then it's like that.

Good supermarket, got what you need, for daly shopping

Clean and laid out well. Easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. Good place to shop.

Very cool, open daily for seafood and meats in actual structure. Wednesday and Saturday market expands into entire parking lot and surrounding streets. Awesome!

Super nice store anything you require you will find

Great shop to make fast shopping. And the Lady at the counter...I love her. She saved my day. Hugs and kisses.

Loads to see, submarine pens, huge cruise ships being built, really high bridge for cars etc. Would deffo stop over there again if passing near on my travels

Ok market place, 50 years old, limited choice of items but good enough, italian tratorria, butchers, cheesemongers, fishes, poultries...etc

They have a bigger collection of books. Slightly disappointed about the collection of electronic items. The FNAC in Nantes is much bigger. However still a good enough place to buy standard electronic items.

About cellular phone, good advise Large choice

Quality products and very good sellers, I recommend Dylan who was my guide to buy said product! 10/10

Nice place

Small Fnac Store, but it's so awesome to have one in Saint-Nazaire, the closer one to the coastal cities used to be Nantes, in the city center, and it was quite impractical..

Nice place lot of options of camera , mobile,laptops and many more electronic items

Very good place to go shopping

Horrible. The service is extremely slow, they lost 2 of 5 meals. The Ceasars Salad is not even near to the traditional receipt. Would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

we were there for lunch with a bunch of people. Starter, Main Course and dessert were delicious. Really good place for price and taste.

Super friendly staff and some good food on a drizzly day....

Hmm, bottle of Orangina €4.80.….., bottle of beer was better at ~€3

Nice coffee.. Nice staff.. Enigmatic location

Mussels in cream sauce. Amazing.

Nice

Burgers have got ridiculously small yet quite expensive. I can get far better from a local chip shop for only slightly more money.

Good vibe, good people.good service by clara

Great quick and friendly service with the quality expected from McDonald's.

Easy parking, but I found no Veggie Burger on the menu. Which should not happen in 2022. Still, for meat eaters a good option.

Worst Mcdonalds ever seen anywhere. Manager screaming at customers, 41 mins and counting to receive a 3pm order! Staff fighting with each other about orders behind counter. Don't go here!

But less veg chose 😊

Workers are a bit rude. There are outdoor seating but it's infested with bees. Worst macdonald service I ever had.

Superb! Nice environment nice food! Highly recommended!

Great food. Great service. Easy parking. The menu changes every day and the chef is amazing. She came to the table and they cater for all dietary restrictions. The food was well presented and extremely tasty. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic French cuisine.

The food was tasty, and the price was affordable

Brilliant lamb plate. I will return with my wife. My new favorite in St. Nazaire. Have a beer at the bar where you can order your meal then move to your table to feast.

A very tasty experience. Every dish is prepared in details, in a very beatiful stylish mode, with first quality foods. Every time i was there I have taken the menu, always different, and I always was very satisfied. The price is right for the quality. Highly reccomended.

Great place, grat food and great people! Special thanks to Krzysztof! ☺️

Great food, great drinks, awesome deserts, lowsy view on an entrance of harbour and submarine station, but if you are a foodie -definately the explosion of flavors in all your plates will make it up to you compleatley.

I know I have had better pizza and know there is better pizza, but couldn't tell you when. Charming little place close to shipyard. Nice selection of delicious beverages (wines, beer and aperitifs). Lady who took care of us was very cordial to our needs and worked very hard. However, she was pretty much alone and slammed by the time we left. She speaks French, Italian and English. Overall, great job. Will be back soon, wish there were places like this at home.

Ordered online a Quattro Formaggi pizza from here via Uber Eats. This is what I received! Is this even legal? Are you kidding?

The best pizza in this part of France!!!

Pizza is delicious and the owner is a great host. Lovely place to eat at Saint Nazaire, France.

Good Italian restaurant... tasty but the variety of pizza other than pork topping is limited. Billing section was pathetic and had to wait for too long. Also the seating, the chairs are not comfortable and the room was noisy.

Fastest, most authentic and best quality in town. Highly recommend the pizza fashioned and produce by an authentic Italian chef.

Super good pizza, the only downside is the smell you get in your clothes if you serve food inside

It is so sad to see this nice shopping mall in the open air loosing it's glory. Lot of shops are empty, very few people, even on a shopping night. We went to eat in the "Courtepaille" that was not open yet on the inducated hour, staff was having diner themselves, they did let us in though, and we had a nice meal.

Some nice restaurants and good shops. An interesting place to visit with good view s of the ww2 submarine pens. It is worth a visit and they have just started to upgrade all the paths and pavements. We will visit again 😊😊😊

Just tried the American restaurant and burgers but wouldn't recommend at all. Otherwise it looks like a nice shopping center.

Lot of good shop. Bakery/restaurants. Good.

A shopping mall centre with all kinds of things Avaliable in it from food to clothes and other things to buy here. included parking in the basement with nice views in it.

Nice one

Ruban Bleu is a nice place to hang out or go shopping, they're always people and things to do.

Excellent museum, well thought out and well presented. The staff were friendly and informative. As we did not speak French the staff met us at several points on our visit to explain things that due to the language barrier, we may not have understood. The end of the visit is a bit of a surprise, although not suitable for disabled visitors. Brilliant, a must do activity in Saint Nazaire.

Nice historical visit. You will jump in another century when ferry across ocean still exists. We have learnt a lot of things. Must see in St Nazaire.

After a poor welcome with the ticket office shutters pulled down in our face bang on 1pm we returned at 2pm. Note to self expect all major tourist attractions to shut for lunch! Interesting well presented attraction with mock up of early 20th century ocean liners from cabins to engine rooms. Unique exit via ships lifeboats.

A family-friendly walk back in time, experiencing what it would have been like to be a 1st class passenger on one of the mid-20th century French cruise liners, built in Saint Nazaire. Just enough information for the kids tomunderstamd and for the parents to help fill in the gaps. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

One of the best museums I’ve ever been to, packed full of amazing things to see and an amazing end to the journey.

Very interesting to see the submarine pens.

What an amazing surprise...I visited the old U-Boat pens when I was a child, now...well, it's wonderful!

Super

(Translated by Google) Beautiful store that lives up to its name. We find clothes for adults and for children, I liked adorable rubber boots for children, all kinds of things for aquastilling, fishing rods, lure, live...., interior decoration on the sea ​​theme.

Je pensais trouver des steackers sur ce même thème, pas vu.

OK, a big tip for Anglophones... this museum has nothing to do with the environment, green issues, or climate change. It's not that kind of 'eco'. It is an industrial heritage museum focused on Saint-Nazaire's shipbuilding & seaplane industries. Really interesting. I wish they had more space. Well worth a visit.

I was so disappointed on Sep 23. I decided to visit your museum on this rainy day. Your website said it was open and I had to walk through a rather sketchy area alone only to find a sign on your door that you were closed! I have a photo to prove it - fermeture exceptionelle - please update your website when necessary. And a bit of a dangerous place to be a lone female - I just read your kind-hearted reply and I totally forgive you!! I hope to visit one day.

Nice view to the estuary.

No English descriptions. Otherwise pretty ok

A beautiful place! It's a place with a lot of things, the ticket is not expensive and it's worth it! I recomand you to go to the sub-marine because it's the best attraction!

Museum of the histoty of St. Nazaire, and how different wars etc. have shaped it. Mostly in French but the ticket lady speaks English which is very nice! The main themes are archeological finds, construction of harbor, ships, seaplanes. Free parking!

Great experience but this museum needs a small update on cruise ships and planes current performances. A small hint on the new development of Saint Nazaire industry (offshore wind, natural gas ships, sails, H2, ...) will be warmly welcome

Very cozy, helpful waiter and great food.

Always good place for galettes and crepes!

It's a nice restaurant, very cozy and waiters are very polite. I recommend to eat the burger and the jacket potato , burgers are very well done and made with fresh ingredients. Most of the plates are cooked on the charcoal grilled. Not so expensive if you order a menu. Price between 15 and 25 euro per person

Good for various cousin dinner. Stakes are good but of average standard. Overall a good dinner choice for families and friends.

The chef managed a remarkable gastronomic feat of not only overcooking a Tuna steak but then managed to serve it almost cold.. Other than that the meal was bang on average.. The wine was served at the correct temperature 😂🤭

Waited for 20 mins for order intake with closed menu cards, when asked an attendant we got a reaction “just another two minutes” and she walked away... Children got served burned nuggets and tea which was ordered was not delivered. Overall a poor experience with this restaurant...

Very good, brilliant food and service. Staff seemed very willing to help with language issues. Very enjoyable meal in pleasant surroundings.

The rump steak was very tough and did not have the quality’s of a expected rump steak, but over all the service was pristine.

The ambience is nice and clean.. But the food specially the meat that I ordered is a bit hard. I didnt enjoy the food actually.

Close to my hotel, and the prices were good for the amount of food I got. Service was nice, although staff were not that good with English. Nonetheless, the menus has images for most of the items so it's manageable. A few of the items come with rice, salad and/or miso soup, so that was nice.

Very nice place! I ordered an ice cream and sushi! Both were really delicious and fresh!

Very good choice of dishes. Quick service. Extra fresh fish. Service in English was a bit difficult but overall very good.

as before, everything was very tasty, it’s the best sushi in Saint Nazaire, thanks

Good choice of menus or even mixing sushi and meatballs or kebabs. The soup and rice were excellent and it was good value for money and quick polite service. A nice moment!

Not the best, but could be.

Great food. Grumpy staff. Perhaps they were just busy, but there certainly wasn't any service with a smile. Food is super yummy though

Our male server was excellent! He suggested a red wine, a Syrah, Loup Du Pic, 2022 which was the highlight of our filet mignon Father's Day dinner. It was not listed on their wine list. This wine was very smooth and enjoyable, more so than a commonly available North American wine, Meiomi Pinot Noir. Thank you!

Lovely restaurant with stunning view. Tasty starters, a good selection of mains, and delicious desserts. The atmosphere is great, though prices are a little on the high side. Perfect for a special treat.

We had lunch here today, staff were friendly, great with the children and were patient with language difficulties! Great views of the beach and sculptures. Had the Breton pork which was really tasty, and the coffee gourmand as dessert. C'etait très bien, merci á tous.

Lovely ambient and patrons clearly enjoying their evening here. We love it too, but a waitress here is unpleasant and belittling. As patrons of the restaurant, we did not felt welcomed by her nor her warmth to have us served. Restaurant is situated by the beach and we can imagine the nice view during the day. We ended up having 2 glasses of champagne and a tapas and left, we originally intended to dine here but gave up because of the waitress. There is nothing else to pick on other than the attitude and professionalism of this particular waitress.

Was pleasantly surprised for what had tourist trap written all over it. Service was friendly and accomodated promptly. Staff navigated English pronunciations for what we didn't understand. Food was a little less rustic as I was hoping. But a decent experience all around.

The staff is friendly I could make a reservation for two, 20 minutes on a summer saturday before arriving. Our table was facing the beach so it was really nice to have such a view. The interior of the restaurant is also nice and the vibe is cool ! The menu is not made for vegetarian and the choice is restricted. We tried the cesar salad and a bolognaise they were good 👍 the quality and quantity were worth the price. I recommend this restaurant but I hope that they change their menu from time to time. The cocktail deserves a 5/5 though!

Made a last minute lunch reservation for the terrassee and we were very happy! Service, food and drinks were all great! Would definitely visit again!
