- CherylKent500. Canterbury 16 contributions. Sealife experience in Brest. We enjoyed Oceanopolis whilst in Brest for a few days. ours was a fairly short visit - c.2hrs - as we just looked at the tanks rather than reading the information panels or watching the videos.
- CherylKent500. Canterbury 16 contributions. Calm and relaxing stroll in Brest. Our visit to the Botanical Gardens was a good start to a few days in Brest. Reclaimed from a 1970s rubbish tip, the gardens run through a valley with a river flowing through it.
- AdvisorKing. Vancouver, B.C.165 contributions. Very thorough and informative in a great setting. My wife, adult son and I walked into the Chateau Brest on a Monday around 4pm, wanting to see the fort and undecided about seeing the museum.
- PF7474. 1 contribution. Sein crossing. Good crossing, flat calm, friendly staff. Great day out meeting friends and family on the island. Until next year 🛥️👍🏻
