On the map
A major port of western Brittany, Brest stands at the tip of Finistère, on the edge of a vast roadstead opening onto the Atlantic. Rebuilt after the war, the city is marked by its maritime tradition, its arsenal and its medieval castle. The deep roadstead, the neighbouring Crozon peninsula and the jagged coasts of the Iroise Sea offer spectacular landscapes.
Between roadstead and rugged coastline, MGRS coordinates and MilMap mapping help fix a position and orient yourself along the coasts.
