Coming to Brest

Brest in Finistère, the beginning of the world: steep cliffs, long sandy beaches, sharp reefs and the blue of Armor (“land of the Sea”), the hills and green of Argoat (“land of the Woods”). Brest in Brittany, a rich heritage of Breton culture: language, music, dance and a “spirit” – open to the world, curious about others and willing to share its wealth and diversity.

Brest’s geographical location, combined with the know-how of local companies, research institutes and a strong oceanographic tradition have all made Brest a focal point of excellence regarding the Ocean. This situation reinforces, both nationally and internationally, the strong position held by Brest and its region in:

• Civilian and military research,
• Industrial activities related to the ocean,
• Training institutions,
• Fisheries and marine fish farming
  

Brest surrounding country brings you sun, storms and snow ... sometimes all during the same day!
