Brest is a city in Brittany in northwestern France. Located in a sheltered position not far from the western tip of the Breton peninsula, and the western extremity of metropolitan France, Brest is an important harbor and the second French military port after Toulon. During the Middle Ages, the history of Brest was the history of its castle. Then Richelieu made it a military harbor. Brest grew around its arsenal, until the second part of the 20C. The city center was completely rebuilt after the war. Nowadays, Brest is an important university town.

Boasting a rich naval history and several interesting architectural curios, Brest is known for its castle and surrounding nature.

Tour Tanguy, Brest

I came across your website whilst planning an impromptu trip to Italy. Although we only booked hotels with you, I found your website a great help. We traveled by train and found Italian trains to be very good. The rooms we booked with you were all good. The locations were great. The hotel in Viareggio was a great treat. I would definitely recommend your site to anybody planning a trip. We will use it again .... Vietnam and Cambodia next!

I have already recommended to several of my peers! I am really impressed. Saludos! Thanks for making my trip something amazing. The platform is EXTRA easy to use, and very intuitive. Being as graphic with the actual route in google map format, photographs of each location, etc makes it much easier than other travel management tools.
