National Museum of the Navy
This fascinating museum plunges you into the naval history of the city of Brest, with its navigational instruments, paintings and concept stores.

It is also an opportunity to explore the Château de Brest and its superb panorama over the harbour.
 

Stroll through historic Brest

The Capuchin Workshops
Former buildings of the military port of Brest, the Ateliers des Capucins have been transformed into a vast cultural venue combining cinema, exhibitions, a food court and various shops.

The best way to get there is to take the Brest cable car!

Rue Saint-Malo
This is the oldest street in Brest. It has resisted the bombings and invites you to walk along its cobblestones to discover its traditional houses dating from 1690. A real contrast with the rest of the city!

Montbarey Fort
For those who love military history! Built in the 18th century, Fort Montbarey was used by the German army during the Second World War.

Today, the site pays tribute to the resistance fighters of Finistère and presents a collection of objects and vehicles dating from the conflict.
