MUSEE DES PHARES ET BALISES

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Toyin 591 reviews
The Light House Musee.

Favorite thing: The was actually the objective area. We had to walk for more than one hour on the Island to get here. We had a tour of the musee, but the lady on duty was very scared of cameras, so unfortunately , you have to visit here to experience the amazing sea culture and history.

The exhibition covers extensively the period, which, with Augustin Fresnel (1788-1828) began, the "Siècle des Lumières".

Fondest memory: Established in the former power station of the Créac'h lighthouse, the "Centre d'Interprétation des Phares et Balises" is dedicated to the history and techniques of maritime signalling since antiquity.

Very interesting place especially to sea fearers.

Boat Cruise

Favorite thing: This is the boat that convey us to several Islands; I couldnt get a picture of it until we came down at Ile d'Oussant.

Fondest memory: The sea was very rough on this occassion and I loved it, seeing the kids sea sick after initial excitements and runing around the whole boat.

Boat Cruise to Ile d'Oussant

Favorite thing: If you are going to Brest, it is necessary to plan for the boat cruise. I did.

Fondest memory: One thing about Brest is that there are numerous other attractive Islands you can visit. Ile d' Ouessant, Molène, Sein. These are beautiful Islands you can visit and have a great time with the family.

National 12 Highway.

N12

Fondest memory: Lots of people talk about driving in France as hectic. However, I have found driving around very interesting. This particular trip took me from Autoroute 11, to N12. As you could see in the picture the roads are good and well marked. I recomend the trip by road, if you want to enjoy Bretagne.

Sea shore - The Atlantic

Toyin 591 reviews
Breast

Favorite thing: Protruding into the sea on the northwestern edge of France, Brittany and the department of Finistere is also the most northwesterly point in Europe. Being exposed to the Atlantic winds in winter it has a drama that justifies the name 'Finistere' in end of the earth. Its warm summers are thanks to in part to the influence of the Gulf Stream.

The Coastline in Breast

Favorite thing: The Bretons are staunchly proud of their culture and traditions.The area's rich maritime traditions are evident in the fishing ports that are dotted around the coastline Its these qualities that makes a holiday to Brittany so captivating.

Fondest memory: Bretons are a hugely hospitable race with a diverse countryside and a cuisine to match.Oysters, crabs and sting ray are among the local specialities washed down with Breton cider.
