Best Parks for Dogs in Brest

A 50-hectare wooded valley running from the Saint-Marc district down to the Moulin Blanc marina, housing the National Botanical Conservatory in the south and a large public park in the north. Surfaced paths, picnic tables and benches, and a continuous shaded walk all the way to the coast.

An 18th-century tree-lined elevated promenade laid out by convict labour in 1769, running along the old ramparts above the Port de Commerce with sweeping views over the Rade de Brest and the Penfeld. Wide enough for off-peak running and lined with linden trees.

An 11 km out-and-back section of the GR34 coastal path linking the port of Le Conquet to the lighthouse and abbey ruins of Pointe Saint-Mathieu, 25 minutes drive west of Brest. Sea cliffs, beaches, abbey ruins and one of the most photographed lighthouses on the Atlantic.
