Brest, France

There’s a maritime museum inside the old castle with models, small craft and gear from working boats. The international maritime festival held biennially fills the harbour with traditional vessels, but even outside that, you’ll usually see something interesting moving on the water. Brittany is famed for its seafood, so make a beeline for a waterside bistro and ask for the catch of the day! A bit further afield, the Armorique Regional Natural Park offers unparalleled hiking opportunities and splendid coastal scenery.
