Saint-Martin district

Highlight • Religious Site

Neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic building, was completed in 1877.
The church was consecrated on March 30, 1881 by the Bishop of Quimper and Léon and is christened Saint-Martin in the middle name of the former mayor of Brest, Hyacinthe, Martin Bizet (1848 - 1866).
Originally the district was called “Belair” and belonged to the municipality of Lambézellec, which was annexed by the city of Brest in 1861, popularly known as “the annexation” and later the district of “Saint-Martin”.
The church's bell tower was badly damaged in 1944 and the roof was completely destroyed by fire; it was restored between 1946 and 1948.

Tour Tanguy

Highlight • Other

The Tour Tanguy is a 14th-century medieval fortified tower perched on a rock overlooking the Penfeld River in the Recouvrance district. Today, it houses the Musée du Vieux Brest. After a comprehensive renovation in 2023, the tower now offers a modern, immersive exhibition with audio guides and interactive elements. From the top floor, guests can enjoy impressive panoramic views of Brest, the castle, and the harbor.

Marina du Château

Highlight • Structure

Almost everything in Brest revolves around the sea, so it makes sense to pay a visit to the marina and let your gaze wander from the quay. Even those who may not be interested in sailing boats may find something to do with the hustle and bustle outside the harbor entrance. According to various rating portals, the surrounding restaurants are not particularly recommendable.

Marta Pan Fountains, Rue de Siam

Highlight • Monument

Famous in Brest are the seven fountains of Marta Pan, Rue de Siam. They were entrusted to the artist of Hungarian origin by the municipality and were part of a renovation project.
They were lifted from the ground between June 1988 and September 1989 and had to be integrated into a watercourse that rises at Place de la Liberté. The conical and cylindrical shapes made of black granite are still preserved today.
