About
The Lambézellec market is held on Fridays, from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, on Place des FFI, in the centre of the district. Lambézellec was an independent town until 1945, when it became part of Brest. The district has kept its village centre, its church and its square, where the market is held. The stalls offer food and non-food goods: a neighbourhood market for end-of-week shopping. After the market, you can visit the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest, about 11 minutes by car (4.6 km), and the National Navy Museum in Brest, about 12 minutes by car (5 km).
