  • Need some fresh air? Want to get some fresh air? Why not take to the roads, or rather the seafront, in a wheelchair or pushchair! So, are you ready? We're off! Route accessible to all: follow the white and red markings of the GR34 sentier des Douaniers.

  • Departure point: Place du Commando.
    Accessible to families with young children and accompanied people with reduced mobility.

    To begin with, admire this incredible view of the entrance to the harbour basin. Greeted by the west and east piers, the crab claw reveals its latest nugget: the foot, jumper and digestive system of artists Daniel Dewar and Grégory Giquel. This little (or rather big) nugget has joined the collection of contemporary artworks on the Estuaire NantesSaint-Nazaire...

    A stroll along the waterfront also takes you back into the history of Saint-Nazaire, with the statue of Sammy and the American Monument commemorating the arrival of American troops in Saint-Nazaire in 1917.

    Flowers and plants tickle your nostrils, and your senses are awakened by the plant garden dating from the 19th century.

    Then head off to the fisheries of Port Désirée, these little huts mounted on stilts.

    Then discover the Villès Martin lighthouse.

    Finally, there's nothing like a dip in the sea. Handiplage, the beach at Villès Martin, which is supervised in summer, offers seahorses and tiralos for safe swimming.
