Recouvrance Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Recouvrance Bridge is a lift bridge that crosses the Penfeld in Brest, Finistère. Dominating the arsenal and military port, it connects the lower part of Rue de Siam with the Recouvrance district and replaces the swing bridge (National Bridge), which was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944.

Inaugurated on July 17, 1954, it was for a long time the largest lift bridge in Europe. Each reinforced concrete pylon is 70 m high. The current movable steel span, installed in 2011, is 88 m long, 15 m wide and weighs 625 tons.

Marta Pan Fountains, Rue de Siam

Highlight • Monument

Famous in Brest are the seven fountains of Marta Pan, Rue de Siam. They were entrusted to the artist of Hungarian origin by the municipality and were part of a renovation project.
They were lifted from the ground between June 1988 and September 1989 and had to be integrated into a watercourse that rises at Place de la Liberté. The conical and cylindrical shapes made of black granite are still preserved today.
