The tramway in Brest (Brittany) was inaugurated, on schedule, on 23 June 2012.

At their peak, the works saw up to 70 Group teams working on site. This first line boasts 27 stops along its 14.3 km-long route; it crosses the urban community of Brest from east to west, linking up the main residential and business neighbourhoods. Value of the works: 120 million euros.
