Answer 2

Brest is rather an odd choice as a tourist destination for a 29 year old single male.

Brest is in Brittany so its certainly "close by."

France is generally quite safe and Brest is not much different. There is perhaps a slightly larger chance of getting into a bar fight since its a major port and a naval base (all those hard drinking sailors).

The town was largely destroyed during World War II so there's not much in the way of historical tourist attractions.

Answer 3

Brittany is a very attractive region but Brest is not a nice place.

As Rilifane said it's been destroyed during WWII and there is no track of the past.

As for the night life forget about it you'll get bored very quickly.

You should consider Rennes instead if you want to stay in Brittany. Rennes is much more bustling and has many bars and nice restaurants and a lot of monuments.
