Château de Brest
Look toward the mouth of the river Penfeld to find the Château de Brest. This fortress in Brittany, France, has over 1700 years of history and was designed by the architect Pierre de Massiac. It is a classified historical monument, having been designated as a monument historique on 21 March 1923. I find the position by the water makes it a great spot to watch the current. Whether you are interested in the military architecture or just the view of Finistère, the citadel is a central part of the city's layout. You can see how the walls were built to command the river, making it a formidable closed city in its time.
