Along with Brussels, Saint-Nazaire is one of the few cities that can lay claim to the passage of Tintin.
With the agreement and support of the Hergé Foundation, the association Les Sept Soleils has recreated the route taken by Tintin and his companions in Nazaire by installing six giant enamelled metal reproductions of drawings from the album "The Seven Crystal Balls". An orientation table, set up near Vieux Môle, a stone's throw from the estuary, completes the tour. It brings together the real ports and imaginary maritime locations that Tintin visited during his adventures.
You can find the vignettes, with their explanations of Saint-Nazaire's transatlantic history, in the leaflet "In Tintin's footsteps":
available free of charge from the Tourist Office located in the submarine base and as a free download below.
