Hej
Ok, I went there and I brought a lot of fishinggear ...all fishy I got was smoked salmon! I couldn't find a boat for individuals, and the boats (2) were booked for weeks. It's also a shame that you are denied access to all ports and useful piers.
Well, at least I had a good time and nice weather for one week. One good thing was the Oceanopolis in Brest with a lot of aquariums from all climate zones (tropical + temperate + arctic), unfortunately 98% of the info there was in frog-lingo.
