Port Brest

Third in number of pontoonplaces in the rank of marinas of the Atlantic façade with its two ports, that of Château and that of Moulin Blanc, Brest now has more than 2,200 places for visitors and boats of any size. These two ports are run by Brest'Aim, the mixed economy company of the city and BMO. Equipped with floating pontoons and facilities for boaters, port du Château is also fitted with a full equipment for waste-water treatment but also for the draining and motor oils. This is why with its ideal location (near the bottleneck) and its large linear pontoons from 300 to 400 metres long, port du Château reconciles the city with the sea. A harbour office, named Espace Bernard Giraudeau, was operating in 2012. This marina is the theatre of the maritime activities of the urban area, like the Tonnerres de Brest festivals. Many other events punctuate the place, including the departures and arrivals of major transatlantic races. Along the marina, you will find bars and restaurants and you can walk on the prints, registered in the bronze, in the hands of great navigators. Port du Moulin Blanc, bordering Oceanapolis, is the historical port of the city. Many pontoons and few bar-restaurants, like Le Tour du Monde of Olivier de Kersauzon, make the place successful.
