Penfeld
The Penfeld,〔The d was added in the 17th century by a naval engineer influenced by the German word ''feld'' - the name is masculine in the Breton language.〕 ''Penfell'' in Breton, is a long French coastal river.〔(The Penfeld on the SANDRE site )〕 On its left (east) bank has grown up the town of Brest in Finistère.
==Course==
Its source is in the town of Gouesnou. It then passes through Bohars and Guilers (a hamlet bearing the river's name) before flowing out into the roadstead of Brest. The Penfeld runs along the former course of the river Aulne, shifted to the west by the opening of the goulet of the roadstead of Brest by the interglacial periods of the Quaternary Era. This explains its depth, allowing deep-draught ships to go quite a way upstream, with tides running up it for up to .
At Brest, the Penfeld is crossed by the Pont de l’Harteloire then, some way downstream, by the Pont de Recouvrance, the largest vertical-lift bridge in Europe until it was de-throned by the pont levant de Rouen in 2007.
In its last stretch, within embankments high, the Penfeld runs through the Brest naval base, and at its mouth (a site whose strategic importance has been recognised since antiquity) is the 15th-century Château de Brest.
