Rue de Siam – Siam Street

Situated between Liberty Square and Recouvrance Bridge, Siam Street is one of Brest's busiest thoroughfares, and with good reason. Its many stores make it a prime shopping spot downtown! It owes its name to the Siamese ambassadors who came to Brest from Thailand in the 17th century, at the invitation of King Louis XIV himself. Today, it's a lively street, served by the tramway and lined with shops of all kinds.
