🇫🇷 Brittany - Brest: Must-Visit Attractions ⚓🌊

Brest, Brittany's second-largest city, is famous for its castle and naval base. Nearly destroyed in WWII, few old buildings remain—1-2 days are enough to explore! 🚌 Transport Check routes & fares: www.bibus.fr The 1-day pass is a steal! Unlimited rides, including the cable car over La Penfeld River 🚡. 🍜 Food Missed out on Michelin-starred L'Embrun (book early!). Ended up at Les Trois Bonheurs (P12), a cozy Vietnamese spot—their soup and noodles rocked! 🍜📍 9 Rue Benjamin Delessert. 📍 Top Attractions 🏰 Musée National de la Marine Housed in Brest Castle, this maritime museum showcases ship models, navigational tools, and naval history. Stunning harbor views from the castle! ⚓🎟️ Tickets: musee-marine.fr 🌉 Pont de Recouvrance One of Europe’s largest lift bridges! Lucky to see a warship arrival + bridge rise—check tram screens for lift schedules. 🚢✨ ⛪ Église Saint-Louis Post-war concrete church—love it or hate it, it’s unique! 😂 🚠 Téléphérique de Brest Free with the 1-day pass! Cross the river by cable car for epic views. 🐱 Le Phare du Petit Minou The Little Cat Lighthouse 🗼—a 5km hike from Bus 2B’s Technopôle stop. Perfect for sunset! #France #StudyAbroad #Travel #Brittany #Brest #HiddenGems ⛵📸
