I watched him lean into the mic, tattoos catching the red light, voice cutting straight through all that noise and landing somewhere personal, like he was singing to one person instead of a hundred thousand. That’s the strange magic of it. A stadium that size, and somehow it still feels intimate. Then came Mic Drop, and Normal, and the whole crowd started chanting their names, one after another, thousands of voices calling out to seven people who probably couldn’t hear any single one of us,...

I feel safe walking around the city at night to my airbnb place. It’s always better to be attentive but nothing happened to me luckily and street is kinda empty. People are super nice, helpful, and willing to speak English! I had a good time there apart from the food poisoning from beef tartare😮💨

Full of people, there’s a half-hour line even to go to the bathroom. The churches are beautiful, especially the Saint Chapelle or San Denis. The metro is very easy to use. However, it’s extremely expensive— a bottle of water costs 6€.

The center of the city is very safe. You just have to stay out of the different "Cités". It's like the Cité Picasso, and other places. Apart from.that, it's safe. The safest areas are near the center and around the university

I never had any problem since 2 years, it's quite safe and calm, unless it's the Christmas time, it will be so crowded and expensive also, but it's really safe in general, there is a lot to do here too

Brest is mostely a safe city to travel as a solo woman, yet their are some places that might feel unsafe at night as there is men roaming around in the streets. I'd also recommend checking the public transportation timetable before planning late activities because bus ans trams don't work at night.

Overall I feel very safe here , i even extended my stay at the hotel, the bus and train are easy to get and there are groceries around so you can stay in, I also use Uber Eats to order food so it’s cheaper
