Brest : the Castle, the fortifications, the national maritime museum, the marina,
the Stang Alar botanical garden...

Largest city in Finistère (212000 inhabitants), Brest will appeal to you with its touristic sights (the commercial harbour, the national maritime museum, the Castle) but also with its dynamic and enlivening atmosphere: thanks to its hilly relief you can enjoy several panoramic views of the city, the harbours or the residential areas…

Brest is a city where you can stroll along parks and squares (Siam, Liberté, Saint-Michel, Jaurès…) or along the streets … (the city has an American-style street layout, legacy of the 1945 reconstruction) until you find what you were looking for:

The rue de Siam (Siam Street) and its bars… the commercial harbours and its cafés… Recouvrance and its drawbridge… the small valley of Stang Alar and its national botanical garden… the rue Jean Jaurès (Jean Jaurès street) and its shops… the place de la Liberté (Liberté Square), its monumental esplanade and its constructivist architecture (classified as “historic monument”)
