Britany has been well-known at all times for its seaward orientation, and many, if not most, of the French that one can meet overseas are Bretons. You should consider that about 2,000 marine scientists and engineers work in the Brest urban area, and that they are expecting the opportunity to meet with you. Formal or informal meetings can also be arranged with these staff to discuss more deeply subjects of common interest. Appointments will be easily arranged between visitors of the two events.
Some discussions are more profitable when they are conducted in a relaxed and cosy framework.
Everywhere, you should find high quality service, with much warmer welcome and cheaper prices than in Paris or on the French riviera. Coming to Brest will also be an opportunity to visit France, and take home some souvenirs and French products such as wine, cheese, clothes or perfumes together with the conference proceedings. Visits to Mont Saint Michel , a one-day tour from Brest, will be proposed to accompanying persons and to participants. The conference travel agent will also offer convenient ways to stay a few days in Paris or in Nice, Monaco and other well-known places on your way to or from Brest. One single week cannot be enough for meeting with all the engineers and scientists that work in Brest, nor for visiting but a small part of the most popular vacation region in France.
