Interesting to watch the cable car pass the only 82m high pillar.

The Brest cable car, French Téléphérique de Brest, is a cable car in the French city of Brest. It crosses the Penfeld river and connects the Quartier des Capucins with the Jean Moulin station in the city centre. It is the first cable car in France to be integrated into public transport.

Recouvrance Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Recouvrance Bridge is a lift bridge that crosses the Penfeld in Brest, Finistère. Dominating the arsenal and military port, it connects the lower part of Rue de Siam with the Recouvrance district and replaces the swing bridge (National Bridge), which was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944.

Inaugurated on July 17, 1954, it was for a long time the largest lift bridge in Europe. Each reinforced concrete pylon is 70 m high. The current movable steel span, installed in 2011, is 88 m long, 15 m wide and weighs 625 tons.

Albert Louppe Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The “Plougastel Bridge”, also called “Albert Louppe Bridge”, was the only bridge from 1930 to 1994 (before that, only a ferry service existed). This bridge, measuring 880 meters long and raised 42 meters above sea level, is made up of three arches. In this sense, it is proud of the world span record for concrete arch bridges.

Built between 1991 and 1994, the “new bridge” of Iroise appears in most of the photos presented here, but is only authorized for cars. It can boast of being one of the largest cable-stayed bridges (800 meters long, 400 meters between the two pylons, height of 83 meters above the deck). When the bridge was commissioned, it held the world record for the longest span.

From the bridge in Brest you have a particularly beautiful view inland. The view towards the sea is breathtaking.
