SAINT - MARC, L' ETONNANTE DESTININEE D' UN FAUBOURG BRESTOIS 1790 - 1940. 128 pages - As you leave Brest by rail, your gaze is drawn to the immensity of the harbor: you pass "Guelmeur", "la Grande Mer"! and catch sight of a graceful yellow granite bell tower: the little church of the old village, before the revolution the religious center of Saint Marc, which was called Trénénez in the parish of Saint Louis de Brest. A commune that has seen many upheavals in barely a century: industrial development, a considerable increase in population and the relocation of the historic center, all of which transformed this modest rural community into a dynamic working-class town marked by political and social struggles.
