Know about Brest
Brest is a city in the Finistère department in Brittany in north-western France. It is located in the sheltered portion that is not very far from Breton Peninsula. This city is an important seaport and naval base. Brest is the largest city in Finistère, the capital of the department which is the much smaller commune of Quimper.
Brest is known for its Pont de Recouvrance which is a massive drawbridge. The military arsenals and the rue de Siam are also well known. The Castle and the Tour Tanguy are the oldest monuments of Brest. The most of the historical architecture of the city of Brest is destroyed due to bombings by Allies during World War II. A few selected monuments like the Castle and the Tour Tanguy remains today. After World War, the whole town was rebuilt hastily using large amount of concrete. Brest was an important warship-producing port during the Napoleonic wars. The naval port, which is in great part excavated in the rock, extends along both banks of the Penfeld.
Economy:
Brest is regarded as the first French port that was accessed from the Americas. Shipping is the main business of this region. The protected location of the Brest means that its harbor can accommodate ships of any sizes ranging from the smallest dinghy to a large aircraft carrier. In fact, USS Nimitz has visited this harbor many times.
Transport:
Brest is served by an international airport called Brest Bretagne Airport. This airport was formally known as Brest Guipavas Airport. It is located in the commune of Guipavas and 10.2km (6.4 miles) northeast of Brest, in the department of Finistère.
Gare de Brest is the main railway station of Brest. This station witnessed the arrival of TGV Atlantique in the year 1990.The city of Brest is linked to Rennes and Paris as well as regional (TER) services to Brittany including Quimper, Landerneau, Lannion and Morlaix.
