Hertz at Brest Airport
Brest Airport serves the West Brittany region and Brittany as a whole. Brest is right on the north-west tip of France, looking out towards the Atlantic. It's obvious that the city should be steeped in maritime history. Hugely popular museums such as Oceanopolis, tell the tale of marine science and oceanography, and it's quite fitting that one of Europe's most popular marine life museums should be in Brest.
Brittany has a beautifully rugged coastline, and car hire at Brest Airport is particularly popular for those wishing to explore the north-west peninsula. Hiring a car is available at the airport or in the city itself.
On entering the city of Brest, you'll see that the Oceanopolis Museum is immensely popular with both French and foreign tourists. Brest Castle is well worth a trip for the views and wide panoramas on offer from the ramparts; here you'll also find the National Navy Museum integrated into the castle - the city's maritime past is inescapable and intriguingly presented. The Tower of Motte Tanguy is another attraction that stands out above the city as a maritime outpost, allowing views over different aspects of Brest.
If you're hiring a car at Le Havre Airport, the short drive to Plougonvelin is certainly worth the trip. Here you'll find the Pointe Saint Mathieu which consists of an Abbey and a lighthouse. The history of the attraction is absorbing and it's just 21km from Brest on the D789.
Many tourists landing in Brest might consider heading up to Perros-Guirec which is in Northwest Brittany. Here you'll find the famous pink granite cliffs. Rent a car at Brest Airport and discover the rustic beauty of Brittany and its huge coastline. Cosy towns line the northern coast and major cities like Rennes sit further south for those using Brest as a starting point for a road trip through France.
