Chantiers de l'Atlantique and Guérande


Chantiers de l'Atlantique is the birthplace of many legendary ocean liners such as France, Queen Mary 2, Harmony of the Seas… The Shipyard tour immerses you into an outstanding industrial adventure. As a privileged visitor, you will see the “streets” of the yard, the huge workshops and assembly docks, and you will feel quite small amongst the gigantic installations all around you.

The site spreads over more than 250 acres of land (100 hectares), and its facilities are among the largest and most innovative in the world.
