The French port city of Saint Nazaire is located in the Loire-Atlantique region of western France and its port has played a significant role in the city's history. When the German submarine base was built, between 1940 and 1942, taking the place of the former transatlantic terminal which provided links to Cuba, Mexico and Panama, the whole harbour site was dramatically changed, and in recent years has been the subject of a town planning project called Ville-Port in order to integrate it into the city's landscape for a more peaceful use. Around the former submarine pens, the docks and the harbour basin the city has accepted its role as a port and has created an authentic offering for tourists. Saint Nazaire is a very green city with a number of public parks and gardens and nearly 2,500 acres of agricultural land. The city's coast has some lovely beaches and visitors should take a leisurely walk along the old custom officer's path to Les Jaunais, which is lined with beautiful Mediterranean flowers and plants.
