To get to know Brest and its history better, Brest Walking Tours offers walking tours of Brest in small groups. An opportunity for passing visitors and locals to learn lots of juicy info about the city of Ponant, while having fun, because a tour with Brest Walking Tours is much more than a guided tour, it's a walk, an exchange, riddles, and lots of laughs!
Brest, the westernmost city in France, often mocked for its rainy weather, has a unique charm and atmosphere and requires a little context to be able to tame it. Almost completely destroyed at the end of World War II, the city's streets still show traces of its military past and present, but recently the city has enjoyed a new lease of life. From Place de la Liberté to the Plateau des Capucins and its urban cable car, we'll stroll through Brest's culture, past and present, and learn more about its amazing architecture, its explosive history, and anecdotes about its inhabitants.
Meeting point: in front of the Multiplex Cinema in Brest
Arrival: Ateliers des Capucins (and optional cable car return)
Duration: 2h - 2h30, with a very leisurely walking pace
