Bring On The Holidays #brittanydry

We also squeezed in plenty local touristy things:

Plage de Porsmilin

Plage de Portez

Looking across the bay to Plage de Trez Hir and Plougonvelin

Phare Saint-Mathieu
For centuries monks, and subsequently the
French Navy, kept a fire burning at the
top of the abbey tower here

National Memorial to sailors who gave
their lives for France

Musee Memoires 39-45
German underground bunker on the Atlantic Wall -
to control the approaches of the bay of Brest, establish
enemy target firing co-ordinates and transmit them to
various artillery batteries

FLAK German anti-aircraft gun

Greve du Cosquer -
looking back across to Plougonvelin
and Fort Bertheaume

Fort de Bertheaume -
monitoring the straits of Brest since 
the 17th century.
And now a destination for zip-liners.

Looking back across the bay to Portez and Tregana

And finally, on the last day, we made it to Brest proper:

The only pre-war street in Brest - leading from the old
harbour with the old prison walls on the left

Now it's owned by the residents and has become a 
music / cultural area

The old prison

Everything down at the sea / river level is military

Le Capucins -
The old arsenal of Brest has been converted into a
multi-purpose space with cinema, shops, cafes and 'space'
just to rollerblade, dance, skateboard, run around...

Napoleon's barge

A cable-car was built in 2016 to link Le Capucins with the
centre of Brest and Castle

Brest Castle and National Maritime Museum

Another busy, fun and family filled, cracking week!
