Brest, the maritime soul of Bretagne

   Anchored in the extreme west of Bretagne, Brest is a maritime city with a strong character, turned towards the ocean and steeped in history. Marked by its naval past, Brest is home to an impressive military port and a must-see castle housing the Musée national de la Marine. Its Recouvrance bridge and arsenal bear witness to its rich heritage, while the lively Rue de Siam reflects its dynamic character.

   Facing the harbor, the iodized air invites you to escape, whether exploring the incredible biodiversity of Océanopolis or discovering the Ponant islands. Nearby, the wild landscapes of Finistère, with their steep cliffs and mythical lighthouses, offer a grandiose spectacle. Between sea and land, Brest is a city of energy, authenticity and openness to the open sea.

Top 3 things to do :

  • Explore Océanopolis

This is one of the biggest aquariums in France! It immerses visitors in marine ecosystems from all over the world, with sharks, seals and hundreds of other fascinating species.

  • Stroll around the port and discover the Château de Brest
