Dear Mack N, while we appreciate your taking the time to write a comment we have to put things straight. Entry to the submarine is 9 euros, a far cry from the sum you quote. Even if you combine the submarine with a visit of Escal’Atlantic, the ocean liner experience inside the main submarine pen, plus a tour of the heritage museum Ecomusée, it still costs only 19 euros per person. So you’ll have to admit that we’re not ripping off our visitors. As to “dark and damp”, well that’s what a submarine pen is like… We hope you put your short stay in Saint-Nazaire to advantage and went for a nice walk along the seaside.

This is French sub from 1960s. One gets a taste of what living and working was like on board. Worth a visit.

If you like submarines this is the place for you, audio description provided as part of the entrance fee in different languages. The submarine is French not German but still gives you the experience of what life was like under the water.

Neither my wife or myself had been near a submarine before, so a trip to the u boat pens was well up our list of places to see during our short visit to the area. We only made the tour of the sub and although it was disappointing that it was not a German U Boat, the French sub definitely gives a flavour of the horrendous conditions the submariner had to endure. The engineering is amazing and the maximisation of space is incredible. Anyone who is even the slightest claustrophobic should think twice before squeezing through the very narrow main walk way and small doors. The sleeping areas are no more than 1.5M and you can only assume that the Mariners were of very short and slight build. Great visit that we both enjoyed.

50 days being the longest time the submarine could remain submerged.A 1950s French submarine to walk through and experience the cramped life of a submariner, a very good audio guide explains in detail how it operated and provides a good insight into life on board.The company that provides this experience has 3 other sites in the area and you can get a good discount if you buy all your tickets at the same time.

Really interesting museum giving you the chance to go look round a real submarine. The audio commentary was well done and is a available in several languages. Go early as it can get busy as its such a popular attraction. Well worth a visit.

Very interesting to see this submarine. How did submariners live in such a confined space? The visit took only about 20 minutes, but that was about as long as I wanted to stay in this submarine. That said Le Redoutable in Cherbourg was far more spacious.

Well laid out attraction, given the limited space they have to work with and the English audio guide was very good. Make sure you add the free visit to the viewing area on top of the building - wonderful views all round of the U-boat pens, the amazing bridge and the famous dock entrance.

Visited along with my wife and one year old son.It is exactly what you expect - a submarine! You basically enter it from one end and pass along its length getting to view how everything operated in the sub.Clearly you can't take a push chair in the submarine so you'll need to carry any young kids however it only takes about 20-30 minutes to do the tour so its pretty manageable.They have a place where you can leave pushchairs near the ticket office and the staff there will keep an eye on them for you.You get a free recorded guide that gives you an excellent running commentary as you view the interior of the sub.Well worth a visit if you are with kids as they'll love going on a submarine - as will many adults!We had combined tickets with Escal'Atlantic and this proved to be much better. I would probably just do the submarine tour and then walk around the docks if I visited again as Escal'Atlantic was not up to much.

Visited Saint Nazaire to see the U-boat pens as husband and sons all interested. Very helpful staff in tourist information office directed us husband to the gift shop to buy English language book of history of area. Sons interested in going on a sub so headed for ticket office. Great advice given and so bought combined ticket for The Espadon and Escal’ Atlantic. You can wander about the area without paying for any museums but I'm glad we did. The sub visit is by self guided audio tour in English. Some of it was a bit complicated for a non technically minded tourist but boys found it fascinating. Very atmospheric and really gave an idea of the cramped and difficult conditions experienced by sub-mariners.We found a lot of information before visiting after googling the The Helpful Engineer's website - recommend!
