Brest is a port city in Brittany, in northwestern France, bisected by the Penfeld river. It has a rich maritime history and naval base.
Being a big important navel and commercial port, Brest might appear to not be very yacht-friendly, but this is not the case. Tucked in as it is into the NE corner of the Rade de Brest, it offers all the services required by yachts as well as a large area of sheltered water sailing.
At the mouth of the Penfeld, overlooking the harbor, is the National Navy Museum, housed in the medieval Château de Brest.
