View of Brest and the Rade de Brest from Pointe des Espagnols

The Pointe des Espagnes is a rocky projection which closes the harbor of Brest. A true strategic point, it rigorously guards the entrance to the port. The view of Brest and its entire harbor, on a clear day, is fantastic.

Fort Robert

These are old French fortifications guarding the entrance to the Brest gully. They were of course taken over by the German army during the Second World War. There was even a torpedo launching station at the base of the cliffs.

Command post

The command post can only be reached via the Robert fortress. Very heavily used way but worth it.

Fort des Capucins

Really picturesque built rock, which strangely seems to attract little attention.
