This vase-like fountain by the
foot-bridge leading to the railway
station is over 50 years old. The foot-bridge is seen in
the background. Only in the 1970s it replaced the old
foot-bridge that was constructed before WW1.

That is the first sight
beheld by visitors to Brest, as they walk from the station
