OBSERVATOIRE DE KERZOUAR

No, you don't dream: This observatory is located well within the walls of Kerzouar College in Saint-Renan, a dozen kilometers west of Brest! In the approach of the establishment, the dome of 4 m in diameter is also referred to in a somewhat different way with the austere mine of the surrounding buildings. Under this one, a 350 mm diameter telescope awaits the visitor for evening discovery evenings, especially planets and moon. It is the astronomical club Peegase of the Saint-Renan friendly church that organizes them. Off the summer vacation, you will be given a Friday evening a month from 8:30 p. m. During the summer, there are many scheduled evenings (one per week, often on Tuesday), sometimes with many people as is the case during the Nights of Stars. Rendez-vous is then given to visitors at 9:00 p. m. Other events can take place in various remarkable sites, from Kergroadez Castle to Brélès, for example, or to Oceanopolis and Quartz (entertainment and cultural center) in Brest, etc. Depending on the evolution of the programming, do not hesitate to contact the observatory in order to know with… The location and dates of these appointments.
