Saint Nazaire is a town on the southwest coast of France, situated in an area of the Mediterranean known as the "Bay of Angels". It is located in the region that is one of the most frequented destinations by holiday makers and visitors from abroad. Located in an old fortified town gate in the port of Saint Nazaire, it is home to some of the world's largest tourist attractions including the Saint Nazaire cathedral and an ancient underground water system which are the remains of a Roman aqueduct.

Stretching for about eight kilometers to the east, this estuary is home to some of the most important archaeological ruins in France. Housed inside a fortress, the Escal d'Este is an old submarine that was used during World War II.

The Escal was sunk by Allied forces when it dropped off its target. A museum, excavations and a large replica of the submarine are located within the grounds of the Saint Nazaire fortress. Nearby, on land, there are also other historic attractions such as the Old Fort Saint-Martin, which is surrounded by a beautiful view of the sea and its seashores.
