PONT DE SAINT-NAZAIRE / SAINT-BREVIN

With its elegant curve and red-and-white cable-stays, the Saint-Nazaire bridge, which came into service on 18 October 1975, spans both banks of the Loire estuary. It is one of the largest cable-stayed bridges in Europe, rising 61 metres above the river and stretching 3,356 metres between Saint-Brevin and Saint-Nazaire.

Access to the bridge became free when the toll was abolished on 1 October 1994. There is a pavement on either side of the bridge so that it can be crossed on foot.
