Taxi Brest → Morlaix
Your Brest → Morlaix transfer at €115–€140. 60 km via the N12.
A taxi between Brest and Morlaix costs between €115 and €140 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 60 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N12, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €185. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Morlaix is a characterful town in northern Finistere, nestled at the head of a deep estuary and dominated by one of Brittany's most spectacular structures: the two-tier railway viaduct, built between 1861 and 1863, spanning the valley at 292 metres long and 62 metres high. This colossal pink granite viaduct, used daily by TGV and TER trains, has become the city's symbol. Morlaix also harbours a unique architectural heritage with its pondalez houses — 15th and 16th-century dwellings built around a monumental carved wooden staircase. The Bay of Morlaix, dotted with islets including the Chateau du Taureau (a 16th-century maritime fortress), is a Natura 2000 classified site. Taxis from Brest serve TGV connections, heritage tourists, yachtsmen and holidaymakers exploring northern Finistere's coast.
Route
Route Brest → Morlaix
From Brest, your driver takes the N12 towards Paris/Rennes, a toll-free dual carriageway crossing northern Finistere from west to east. You leave Brest via the Iroise bridge, crossing the Penfeld with panoramic views of the harbour, naval base and Brest castle. The road rises onto the Leon plateau, a rolling agricultural landscape of artichokes, cauliflowers and early potatoes — Leon is France's vegetable garden. You pass through Landivisiau, then Pleyber-Christ before arriving at Morlaix. The approach is spectacular: the N12 passes beneath the monumental two-tier viaduct and descends into the steep valley where the town sits. Your driver drops you in the centre (Place des Otages, viaduct) or at the port. The journey takes 40 minutes normally and up to 55 minutes on market days or in summer.
