Brest harbour

Objectively one of the most beautiful in the world!

This is one of the world's most beautiful harbors, into which the Nantes-Brest canal flows. Embark here for the islands of Molène and Ouessant, and relive maritime history at the Musée National de la Marine and the UNESCO Vauban Tower. Unless you'd rather observe the oceans at Océanopolis. You can also take advantage of the bay's water sports activities and stroll along its wooded paths. Tempted?

For those who prefer cycling, the V45 La Littorale awaits you from Daoulas to follow the seafront all the way to the Côte des Légendes. Carpe Diem!
