The rue de Siam is quoted by Jacques Prévert in his poem Barbara. The rue de Siam is well known among sailors from all over the world. Those who call at Brest at least once, remember this short name, easy-minded, all their lives long. If you ply along African coasts, it is not rare to meet Bretons, harbour masters, local employees, sent far away from their native Brest, recalling the rue de Siam like others the Eiffel Tower or the Acropolis.
