Saint-Brieuc

Among the cities of Brittany, Saint-Brieuc stands out for its setting at the head of the Bay of Saint-Brieuc, where the Gouët flows into the English Channel. The bay’s extensive tidal flats and salt marshes are protected within the Bay of Saint-Brieuc National Nature Reserve, an important stopover and wintering area for shorebirds. In the centre, Saint-Étienne Cathedral combines Gothic form with unusually defensive features, a reminder of the town’s long-standing role as a bishop’s seat. Streets around the old core lead towards the waterfront and the wider Côtes-d’Armor coast. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Saint-Brieuc and Brittany.
