Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Brest.
If you're in the mood for something new, try Les Maraichers, another premier location with a delectable menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Brest. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
