paumarier Posted January 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2018 One of our ports on our Oceania Iberian Radiance cruise in September 2018 is Brest, France. I've done a lot of searching on Cruise Critic for this port and cannot find very much information. Only a couple of much older posts, nothing current. I'm hoping other cruisers who have stopped at this port will share their experiences, whether they've stayed in the town, hired a tour guide to see other sites, etc. We are not fans of large group ship tours, so we would love to hire a private guide to drive us around the beautiful countryside of Brittany. Thanks so much for any help your offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina915 Posted January 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I haven't been there in about 5 years, but we just walked around and saw the outside of a fort and the market. It was Sunday and most things were closed. I wasn't very impressed but most things were closed and we didn't take an excursion.

LondonTowner Posted January 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2018 We spent a week in Brittany last year and I did a lot of research before going. We stayed further down the coast in the end, but there seemed to be quite a lot to do. My OH is very interested in WWII history and there is a lot based on the war. I did most of my research on Tripadvisor and local tourist office websites and found plenty of info. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
