Brest, France is Denver’s first Sister City and was the second Sister City established in the United States. The relationship was born in the true spirit of people-to-people connections. It was formalized in 1948 after Denver school children, led by a local teacher, raised thousands of dollars to help rebuild the war-ravaged city.
Brest is only 4.5 hours by train and little over 1 hour by plane from Paris. Located in Brittany, one of France's most rugged regions, it is a fascinating mix of spectacular coastline, ancient towns, magical islands and inland woods. A Celtic duchy for more than one thousand years before its annexation to France in 1532, it is a land rich in culture, tradition and history. This Western peninsula remains intact with a people whose language, customs and dress remain a vivid homage to their past.
Features/Attractions:
Oceanopolis
One of Brittany's main tourist attractions, this aquarium is known as the biggest open-air aquarium in Europe.
Musee de Beaux-Arts
An excellent collection of Art from all of France and surrounding countries.
Tour de la Matte Tanguy
This exhibit is dedicated to pre-war history, several dioramas depicting prior 1939 life settings.
The "Brest Boat Festival" is a large attraction that occurs every 4 years. In 2004, Brest hosted more than 1 million people in the month of June, who visited the more than 300,000 ships in the harbor.
