French
DeutschRecouvrance, Brest
Recouvrance is the section of the city of Brest, France, on the right bank of the River Penfeld. The popular and historically-Breton quarter is in contrast to the largely-Francophone quarter of Brest-même or Brest-proper, on the left bank.
The lift bridge over the Penfeld was named after this neighbourhood, as was a schooner that was built in 1992 in the city.
