Old talk[edit]

It was good getting this filled out, but it reads more like a travel guide than an encyclopedic entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.134.207.86 (talk) 14:45, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]


How does one pronounce Brest? --Patik 01:39, July 13, 2005 (UTC)


Try pronouncing it with an emphasis on the "r" and a shortend "e" as in Brehst. -- Mille sabord 21:28, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Try Brresst, with the e like the a in many ;D Alvaro 02:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Easier to say: pronounce it like the English word "breast", but with a hard 'r'.81.241.32.133 17:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What are "twin" towns? I.e., what does the bottom list of cities have to do with Brest? Just curious. Saritav 01:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saritav : have a look on Town twinning. Surprisingly, "twin towns" are also known, here, on wp:en, as "Sister cities". I don't know ;D Alvaro 16:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where is Doléen in relation to Brest???--Filll 20:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the list of mayors is a vandalism. Someone should correct it or just have it removed. Fernando K 03:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Whereas situated in the heart of the Breton area, it is not (it was) spoken in the city of Brest but in its surrounding villages, albeit not as an official language (in the same vein as other French minority languages)." - this sentence makes no sense 24.16.32.30 03:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brest, France vs Brest, Finistère[edit]

Hello,

Brest in France, like Brest in Belarus, is a quite major city which took part to the international history. Therefore the name of the city followed by the name of the country is better suited than the name of the département which are worldwide unknowned. This following rule, name of city followed by the département, was I think originaly created for small towns or villages who are not alone in France to bear their names.

There is only one Brest in France.

Have a nice day :-) --Monsieur W (talk) 08:26, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

in France and Belorussia Brest westernest town in country 176.65.97.49 (talk) 11:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brittany and the administrative region of Brittany (Region Bretagne)[edit]

Brittany is a historical region of France as opposed to the administrative region of Brittany (Region Bretagne). Currently, Brittany's sole official status as part of the French Republic is as an administrative region. That is why the right link in the infobox for region is Brittany (administrative region).--Monsieur W (talk) 08:23, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Brest, France[edit]

What is missing from the recently created city timeline article? Please add relevant content! Contributions welcome. Thank you. -- M2545 (talk) 18:35, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing a research/educational institute?[edit]

https://www-iuem.univ-brest.fr/en, the Institute Universaire Européen de la Mer, would seem to qualify for a mention. They seem like at least a nationally important research center, are somewhat active internationally, and also have Master's and PhD programs.

I'm really new to wikipedia editing, despite this account being created a few years ago, I've done very little of it, hence just the suggestion here on the talk page rather than a direct edit. I'm in no way affiliated with IUEM. It is in an adjacent field to the one I've studied, so while it's theoretically possible I'd apply for a job there at some point, the "adjacent" part makes that unlikely.

Climate not like Neah Bay, Washington[edit]

Not sure why someone has added 'climatic conditions also resemble Neah Bay, Washington'. Brest is considerably warmer throughout the year, has a maximum recorded temperature a clear 8C higher, has only 60% of the rainfall of Neah Bay and has more sunshine through the year, not suffering the regular fogs of the Pacific coast of Washington.
