8th_Europe_Report -- 10_img_0810.jpg
Alain and Monique drive us across town and the bridge over the Penfeld towards
the area where the US Naval Air Station was located during WWI. However
that area is now located within the restricted boundaries of the huge "Base
Navale de Brest" (one of the largest French naval bases). We can only
drive through part of the base on one fenced road where we get glimpses of the
base such as this one entrance. This military complex is also called the
"Arsenal de Brest" as described on this
French language
Wikipedia site. The much smaller
English version Wiki site,
while easier to read for us language challenged, does not provide the many
images of this historic area. Both sites provide access to this "Schematic
plan of the Arsenal de Brest" which is a map to the wide ranging areas under
the French Navy's control.
