Paid parking, volunteers and Celeste in receivership: Hello Brest!

Hello everyone ! How are you doing this Thursday, June 27, 2024? Do you already have plans for tonight? Easy, Astropolis continues! A free evening of the traveling collective “Club rade passion” is planned, facing the sea, at the Ateliers des Capucins. From 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., the public will be able to enjoy the artists La Punta Bianca, Nihiloxica, Liza Liza and Jung & I for free. The entire program can be found on astropolis.org. And this year, in addition to traditional electro music concerts, the festival is committed to the fight against gender-based and sexual violence (SGBV). On Saturday, a self-defense workshop will enable around fifteen festival-goers to arm themselves with technical, verbal and physical skills to deal with harassment and SGBV.

For high school students, the UBO (University of Western Brittany) is organizing a welcome evening this Thursday at the Segalen university library, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The objective? Help future students and their families better understand the next school year by addressing student accommodation, administrative documents and even study arrangements.

Today, we also celebrate the birthdays of French actress Isabelle Adjani (69 years old) and American actor Tobey Maguire (48 years old). It is also the international day of micro, small and medium enterprises.


Today’s weather: a few clouds

The weather this Thursday is a little less sunny than the last two days. But, there’s no need to worry, the sun will still be there. A few clouds will cover the sky until the early evening. Temperatures are between 14 and 22°C. Not quite as the saying goes: “Saint-Fernand’s Day weather, warmth and laughing sun”, but we’ll make do! [La météo à Brest]


Traffic in real time: car rather than plane!

Nothing surprising this Thursday morning, on the roads of Brest and the metropolis. Traffic jams on Boulevards de l’Europe and Plymouth, traffic jams near Gouesnou, Bohars and Guipavas. And of course, slow traffic on the N12 near Plouédern. As for buses and trains, nothing to report. One thing is certain, it will not be possible to take the plane to go to Orly, following the liquidation of Celeste!

Today’s figure: 2,300

This is the number of volunteers who are organizing the Brest Maritime Festival 2024. These members of more than 70 local associations will get their hands dirty, from July 12 to 17, at the entrances, before the quays, at the points of information and on board safety boats. And for the first time, they will have a headquarters, day and night: the One Club nightclub. [Stéphane Jézéquel nous en dit plus]

The question of the day: when will the parking lots at the commercial port become chargeable?

The eastern part of the Chain Park and the island parking lot were to become chargeable at the end of April, then during June. The infrastructures are laid, the machines installed. And yet, the transition to paid parking does not seem to be imminent. [Alors, c’est pour quand ?]

Two car parks in the commercial port area, in Brest, will switch to paying from the beginning of August, after the Maritime Festivals.
