The treasures of Brest await you

Located at the western tip of Brittany, Brest is a maritime city steeped in history. Its port, one of the largest in Europe, has long been a strategic location for the French Navy. Today, Brest is a dynamic town that combines nautical heritage, nature and culture.

A journey through time

Brest has spanned the centuries, marked by many historical events. Its castle, overlooking the harbor, houses the National Maritime Museum, which traces the history of the French Navy. The Vauban fortifications, for their part, bear witness to the city's military past.

Day 1: Immersion in the maritime world

Start your day with a visit to the National Maritime Museum. There you will discover exceptional collections, ship models and objects related to the lives of sailors.

In the afternoon, stroll along the quays of the commercial port and admire the large ships in real life. You can also explore the Recouvrance, a three-masted square-rigger that is emblematic of the city.
