🇫🇷 Brest Day Trip: A Port City Reborn ⚓🌊
Nestled on Brittany's Atlantic coast, Brest—a key French naval hub—is famed for its castle and warship base. Nearly destroyed in WWII, it rebuilt by 1960 and earned the Médaille de la Résistance française for resilience. 🌅 Le Phare du Petit Minou (Little Cat’s Lighthouse) "They say heartbroken souls visit this lighthouse to leave their sorrows behind." — Wong Kar-wai’s Happy Together forever tied lighthouses to poetic melancholy for me. From downtown, Bus 2B to the terminus begins a 1.5-hour hike—through silent forests, golden farmlands, and cliffside trails. At the end, the Petit Minou Lighthouse stands guard, where couples nestle at sunset. Even the edge of the world holds romance. 🗼💔 (Tip: Pack water + wear sturdy shoes!) #BrestDiaries #LighthouseMagic #FrenchCoast #SolitudeAndSunsets 🌧️❤️
