In our territory, urban is conjugated in the plural form.
Here, shopping is not just about finding the trendy item that will decorate your dressing room, it's also to discover a rich and unknown heritage, to get lost in the perpendiculars of "Siam" and "Jaurès", to take a break on one of the Port of “Co ' “ terraces, savor some delicacies in the “halls” ... without ever losing sight of the sea.
Brest, labeled "City of Art and History", is open, welcoming, supportive, easy to live and to walk!
From the Christmas market to the summer sale fair, through the Saint-Michel fair or the Spring events, "Les Vitrines de Brest" and "Coeur de Jaurès" * instills throughout the city center and all its neighborhoods a lively atmosphere. The two associations each year offer a dense and original program to give visitors a unique experience.
An approach accompanied by the downtown manager whose mission is to stimulate a new dynamic to the entertainment of the city center, to accompany retailers throughout the highlights of the year.
