The Recouvrance district, in Brest. Google Maps map.
Recouvrance occupies the right bank of the Penfeld, facing the centre of Brest. Long the district of sailors and arsenal workers, it has kept rue Saint-Malo, the oldest street in the city, and the Tour Tanguy, which watches over the mouth of the river. The Recouvrance bridge, a lifting bridge across the Penfeld, has connected it to the centre since the reconstruction.
The right bank is undergoing clear urban renewal. On the site of the former military workshops, the plateau des Capucins has become an eco-district bringing together a library, workshops, shops and housing, connected to the centre by the urban cable car inaugurated in 2016, the first in France. Beyond it, the Quatre-Moulins area extends the district westwards. The building stock mixes sailors' houses, reconstruction-era blocks and new schemes at the Capucins.
Long left behind, Recouvrance is climbing back thanks to that renewal and sits among the affordable areas of the Brest market. What is on offer mixes town houses, period apartments and new homes, popular with first-time buyers and with investors drawn by the momentum of the right bank.
The Recouvrance district attracts first-time buyers, young households and investors drawn by affordable prices, the urban renewal of the plateau des Capucins and the maritime character of the right bank. Demand focuses on town houses, period apartments and the new homes at the Capucins. The cable car, the momentum of the district and the price levels sustain growing interest.
