Brest
Sharing cultural roots with Cornwall across the English Channel, the North West France region is proud of its identity; the Breton language is spoken by many a second tongue.
Brest, at the tip of the Breton peninsular has a long history as a major port and vital naval base. While not an obvious choice in itself as a tourist destination, it provides excellent access to the surrounding area. The town’s biggest attraction reflects this attachment to the sea: Océanopolis boasts three aquaria, offering visitors the chance to see polar, tropical and temperate marine wildlife – up close and personal!
