Here you are in Brest, the last big city before the end of the world! Since the creation of the Capucins, Brest has sought to renew itself, attracting an increasingly dynamic tourist trade. Raise your eyes and look for architectural details from different eras, such as Art Deco, Reconstruction aesthetics, Neo-Breton and so on. This town, cruelly marked by history, surprises: it's the emotion of the Sadi Carnot shelter, it's the freshness of the Stang Alar, it's the laughter of the Capucins, it's the wind of the coastal path. As a departure point for the islands, Brest can be a joyful stopover before new journeys. The city is an essential stopover.
