Albert Louppe Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The “Plougastel Bridge”, also called “Albert Louppe Bridge”, was the only bridge from 1930 to 1994 (before that, only a ferry service existed). This bridge, measuring 880 meters long and raised 42 meters above sea level, is made up of three arches. In this sense, it is proud of the world span record for concrete arch bridges.

Built between 1991 and 1994, the “new bridge” of Iroise appears in most of the photos presented here, but is only authorized for cars. It can boast of being one of the largest cable-stayed bridges (800 meters long, 400 meters between the two pylons, height of 83 meters above the deck). When the bridge was commissioned, it held the world record for the longest span.

Port of Auberlac'h

Highlight • Settlement

A little further away, nestled at the bottom of Brest harbor, Auberlac'h cove is home to a small port with 181 moorings. At the bottom of this cove, the Pen Ar Ster pond is separated by a natural coastal barrier called the Sillon. The port of Four à Chaux faces the port of Auberlac'h. A single bar, the Tapecul, welcomes regulars and a few visitors who appreciate the bucolic calm of the place.
