In a nutshell
A cool little town in a dramatic landscape.
bonio Says: Well, do a little research, we decided to visit the maritime Museum on a morning - only open in the afternoon and then to visit Oceanopolis on a Monday, guess what it's closed on Mondays. Our own fault with a little planning we could have made far more of Brest, here's some...
freemattia Says: If you are in Brest and wish to go to the seaside but you don't have a car, don't worry, you can get a bus from the bus station off the train station and you get to go there. Stop in Porspoder and you will enjoy the amazing landscape of this part of the coast by walking. You...
Every end of September, a typical big fair
earendil Says: During three days, for the Saint Michel (29th september), a big fair is organized in the city and the streets are closed to cars.Some streets are reserved to professional merchants, and you can find good items for your house or for you.On the "freedom place", it's reserved...

Taverne St Martin: Good brewpub
bonio Says: City centre brewpub an ideal destination on our first night in town. Pretty busy on a wet Saturday evening, service quick and friendly.A good veal steak for me and a goats cheese flamküchen for Mrs B, one of the best she said, and washed down with some very good house brewed...
La Crepe Flambee: Wonderful Crepes in Brest
freemattia Says: I was invited to eat here by friends from Brest during my holidays in Brittany. They assured me that this is one of the best "Creperie" of the city. I think it's the thruth as during this holidays I ate crepes all the time, everywhere around the city...and it's definetely...
La Maison d'Ocean: Terrific 15 Euro Plates
macrosox Says: Wow, my husband and I enjoyed a fine fine meal here last week and highly recommend this restaurant located on the commercial port docks . Superb mussels, well cooked and sauced white fish (julienne) and a pair of luscious deserts. Happily, the service was equally well...
Street Scene: Nighttime Serenades
Toyin Says: Siam is one of the major street in Brest and it is very intresting to see shops and people window shoping. Some portion of this street is completely closed to traffic, except the Bus, so it is a pleasure just walking and absorbing the beauty of the town.
Toyin Says: There is reason to believe that going by a private means get you to places more conviniently. As I said, I was in Brest first time by air, and I couldnt get eneough of this region..so, I had to do it again by road. It is the wise thing to do.
Porteplume Says: .Français:Par automobile:La Bretagne n'est qu'à 3 heures de Paris par une autoroute gratuite. A partir de Rennes, des voies Express gratuites relient différentes villes bretonnes.Par train:Le TGV Atlantique relie Paris à Rennes en 2 h, comptez 4 h pour Brest ou Quimper. Des...
Roi de Bretagne: Full fat pure butter biscuits and other delicacies
bzh Says: Roi de Bretagne has a wide range of typical Breton stuff, from delicious biscuits to warm whooly jumpers. Biscuits, expecially the Traou Mad ones, that are a little like Scottish shortbreads but nicer.Buckwheat flour to do savoury Breton crepes.
At some beaches, like Turballe...
sandravdp Says: At some beaches, like Turballe the stream is very strong. This can be dangerous for young kids. It's best to keep them away from the water or to go in with them while they wear safety vests and don't go in to deep.
Have a private means of transport.
Toyin Says: Going by private car is condered ideal. This is because there more things to see on the way to Brest than just the town itself. The whole of Bretagne is so lovely. Considering the time I went there, it is nice to dress very warm. and I mean very warm. I went in mid...
Be waterproof and don't forget the camera
bzh Says: The usual stuff, depending on what you do. Even in summer, it is good to have a raincoat and a warm jumper with you. You might never use them but if you do, you'll be glad you packed them. You can find everything locally so no worries there. Don't forget a polarising...
Toyin Says: The nature of this region is better enjoyed when you take time with the nature. There is a feeling that is so natural, that you will not desire to leave this region, or that keep nudging you to go back. The Sunrise here is a spectacle.
Toyin Says: This is the map of the entire Island. I took this picture on the tourism office. To do this Island from Brest, you have to book probably from the hotel. To be in Brest without doing this Island is like tea without sugar..haha.
Toyin Says: 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...
Toyin Says: When I returned from this trip, I offered to send some post cards out to friends, I just want to put it on record, that , those cards that I sent out to some of you came from this shop. Most beautiful cards and special envilope from here.
Toyin Says: 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. 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.
Toyin Says: There were buses waiting on the Island to convey us a little inward where we went to the tourist office to get necessary information to start our adventure. The reception and friendliness of the locals.
Toyin Says: If you are going to Brest, it is necessary to plan for the boat cruise. I did. 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...
