The biggest North West Atlantic French port

Brest, with its evocative street names – Siam, Bouguainville, La Fayette, Segalen – is a place where the travellere can unwind in a variety of ways: shopping, restaurants, museums, theatre, cinema, bars and pubs with a truly Celtic atmosphere.

In Finistere, there is an abundance of gravestones from the Celtic era as well as more recent chapels, wayside crucifixes and parish closes. Bordered with jagged cliffs, long white sandy beaches and calm estuary mouths (Abers), Finistere offers the travellers a multitude of opportunities to commune with nature: UNESCO has classified Ushant island and the Molene archipelago as a world biosphere reserve.

From the Crozon peninsula, at sunset, the traveller can marvel at the hundred or so standing stones of Lagatjar, a spiritual centre of forgotten civilizations.
