The Naval Monument at Brest is accessible by car or train.
The monument is situated on the Cours Dajot and the area around the monument is open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Access to the inside of the monument is not available at this time.
A three hour drive from Brittany American Cemetery, travel on N176 towards the Mont Saint Michel, continuing on the N12 towards Saint Brieuc, Guingamp, Morlaix and Brest. Use Cours Dajot for any GPS
Trains from Paris to Brest leave from the Gare Montparnasse station. From the train station, the monument is about a 800 meter walk. When exiting the station head southeast onto Place du 19ème Régiment d’Infanterie. Once at the roundabout walk to the left of the traffic circle and take the Avenue Salaün Penquer. Take a slight right onto Rue de Denver, and at this point the monument should be in sight.
More than 200,000 fallen service members are honored at an ABMC site. Search the burial database.
