Life in Brittany
Why relocate to Brittany with Ceva?
At Ceva, we believe that where you live should enhance how you work. Our site in Finistère, Brittany offers a rare combination: the opportunity to take on a global role in a leading animal health business, while enjoying the everyday benefits of a slower, more balanced lifestyle.
Here, you won't spend hours commuting or navigating crowded streets. Instead, you'll find more space, more time, and more access to nature – all without compromising on the impact you can make in your career.
Live near the coast, thrive in a vibrant city
Located just 25 minutes from our site, Brest is a dynamic coastal city that combines maritime heritage with a forward-looking energy. It offers a lively cultural scene, including the Ateliers des Capucins – a strikingly renovated shipyard space now home to exhibitions, restaurants, a climbing wall, and co-working areas.
The Océanopolis aquarium is a popular destination, especially for families, and the city’s harbour district is a vibrant spot for dining and socialising. Throughout the year, Brest hosts festivals, concerts, and public events that give it a dynamic, inclusive atmosphere.
You’ll also find excellent public services, including healthcare and schools, as well as a range of shops, cinemas, and leisure facilities. For travel, Brest Bretagne Airport provides daily connections to Paris and seasonal international routes, while TGV trains and major road links make it easy to reach the rest of Brittany and beyond.
Whether you're commuting to work, planning a weekend getaway, or just enjoying everything the city has to offer, living near Brest means you’re never far from what you need.
Live by the sea, enjoy the outdoors
One of the great privileges of living in Brittany is the access to nature. From nearby towns like Landerneau, you can be walking on a beach, exploring a forest trail, or cycling through open countryside within minutes. The coastline here is spectacular, offering year-round opportunities for sailing, hiking, or simply switching off by the water.
You don't need to be in a big city to enjoy cultural life either. From local concerts and theatre to food festivals and artisan markets, even mid-sized towns like Landerneau benefit from Brittany’s rich and accessible cultural calendar.
Brittany's mild oceanic climate means winters are temperate and summers are warm without being overwhelming. It's a region where you can enjoy the outdoors in every season.
A family-friendly lifestyle
For those relocating with children, Brittany offers a safe, supportive environment with strong public services and excellent schools. From nursery care to secondary education, the region is known for the quality and accessibility of its schooling, often with smaller class sizes and a focus on wellbeing.
The pace of life is calmer, and the cost of living is significantly lower than in major cities, making it easier to find a good quality of life without financial pressure.
Families benefit from access to local sports clubs, parks, and community activities, while the slower pace means more time together outside of work.

A different way of life

At Ceva, we're proud to call Brittany home. We think you will be too.
