Tel. no: 00 33 (0)2 98 34 40 40.Our recommendations: This is an excellent place for a rainy day. However, we recommend getting there early as there is a good half day’s entertainment. On nice days you can finish your day with a few hours on the adjacent beaches or marinas, or take a boat trip to the Ile d’Ouessant, situated one hour to the west of Brest. Once there you can get around by bike or minibus.For the children: What can we say, Oceanopolis is designed for them!Here’s more information to make the most of your visit to Brittany:
