“Brest is where Poseidon chugs a cider and scoffs crêpes by the harbour”

Go For

Alright, Landlubber?

Make sure you brush up on your sailor-speak before a trip to Brest. This place is nautical central - not in a rum-soaked pirate kinda way, think sophisticated French sailor sipping Breton apple cider.

Brest got the crap bombed out of it in WWII and was rebuilt using concrete. The result? More Shutter Island than sunshine coast. But there are long sandy beaches close by, a natural harbour, and all the crêpes.

Unleash your inner Ariel.

Need to Know You can catch a ferry to the Ponant Islands where there's rare sheep and dark bees

Do One Thing Make like Nemo and chill with turtles and seals at the Océanopolis
