Saint-Martin is the name of the districts of downtown Brest, north of the historic heart of Brest Rive Gauche, Brest itself. The district owes its name to its church, the Saint-Martin church. Until then, we were talking about the annexation district, as the district was built on Lambézellec lands, at the neighboring common time. These lands were acquired by Brest in the middle of the 19th century, while the place in Brest, a city surrounded by ramparts until reconstruction, came to be missed. Saint-Martin was little affected by the bombings of the Second World War, and saw its urban fabric dating mainly from the 19th century well preserved unlike the historic heart of Brest.
