Brest is a city in Brittany, or the Bretagne région, north-west France.
Located on the western tip of Brittany, the city of Brest is an important port and naval base.
The city of Brest hasn't much historical architecture, apart from a few select monuments such as the Castle and the Tour Tanguy. This is due to heavy allied bombing during World War II, in an attempt to destroy the submarine base the Germans had built in the harbour. The town was hastily rebuilt in the 1950s using a large amount of concrete.
