A vast building resembling a giant crab, this park brings together various pavilions, showcasing the life of the oceans. 10,000 animals and 1,000 different species thrive in giant aquariums that spectacularly recreate their natural environment (don't miss the AbyssBox). A fun, educational, and interactive visit. Did you know, for instance, that scallops have around fifty eyes?

Launched 22 meters above the Penfeld, the Recouvrance Bridge is the gateway to this neighborhood, watched over by the Tanguy Tower (14th century), now a museum of Old Brest. A little further on, the Jardin des Explorateurs. In its beds, plants brought back since the 18th century by traveling botanists. Extraordinary views of the harbor and the castle. Nearby, the Maison de la Fontaine, one of the oldest houses in the city. Take a walk down Saint-Malo Street, one of the few surviving remnants of Old Brest.

The most frequented area of the city stands out for its lively atmosphere and numerous activities. On the Moulin Blanc side, you can stroll between the marina and a beach stretching for several kilometers. The Port du Commerce is known for its many restaurants (crêpes, seafood, etc.). Continuing on, the Marina du Château will take you further into the harbor via the Digue La Pérouse, from where you can admire the strait, the harbor, and the city.

The oldest monument in the city, a military fortress since its origins (3rd century), has withstood all the assaults of history, even the Allied bombings. In front of what is now the Naval Museum, you will see two small cannons. They were used during the era of the prison. When a prisoner escaped, the cannons were fired. The sound would echo throughout the harbor, warning the inhabitants of an escape. The famous "thunder of Brest."

Welcome to the new cultural and vibrant hub of Brest. The massive buildings that once housed the mechanical workshops of the Arsenal have become the largest covered public space in Europe. Admire the beauty and grandeur of the place. The three monumental naves are adorned with 200 glazed windows offering stunning views of the city. A spectacular setting for this center of innovation, dissemination, and creation, which houses, among other things, a media library and exhibition spaces.
