Maison de la Fontaine-Brest
Arts Venue in Brest
The Maison de la Fontaine is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Brest, located in the Recouvrance district, overlooking the Penfeld River. Dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century, it is a rare remnant of Brest’s pre-war architecture, as much of the city was destroyed during World War II.
Today, the Maison de la Fontaine serves as a cultural venue, hosting art exhibitions, artist residencies, and creative workshops. It features a variety of modern and contemporary art, including painting, photography, sculpture, and video installations. The space is known for its interactive programs, offering workshops for both adults and children.
The venue is open Tuesday to Saturday, with special events occasionally extending its hours. Admission is free, making it an accessible cultural hub for visitors interested in Brest’s artistic scene.
