Voice of Travelers to Brest

Travelling to Brest for pleasure

Travelling always gives me pleasure. The idea of buying a ticket and going to a new destination is amazing. I could not wait to get a ticket for Breast when my brother invited me. I acquired a ticket for Breast from a travel agency in my country. During that season they had 10% off on all ticket sales which made me save up on ticket costs. I enjoyed my flight to Brest as the airline services were great. By the time my time in Brest was over I had visited all the tourist attraction such as Phare du Petit, moulin and Petit lighthouse.

Church trip to Brest

Last year but one our church decided to contribute money for a retreat for the members. The destination was Brest. It was a while before I took a vacation anywhere, with kids, expenses and school fees saving for a vacation was almost impossible. Finally the money raised was enough for air ticket and visa costs. The amount also fitted the accommodation in Brest. With the help of sky scanner we were able to get an air ticket for everyone at an affordable rate.While in Brest we hired tour guides to take us through the city. We had the best vacation in Brest.
