Away to Stade Brest – travel tips for the Champions League game

Bayer 04 are away to Stade Brest on matchday three in the league phase of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign. The match against last season's third-placed side in Ligue 1 will be played at the Stade du Roudourou in Guingamp around 100 kilometres away from Brest. Kick-off is at 18.45 CEST on Wednesday, 23 October. Read on for travel tips from the Bayer 04 partner weloveholidays for Werkself fans making their way to France.
Guingamp

With the exclusive package tours from weloveholidays, Bayer 04 fans can fly to Brittany for the best price and experience a city break full of top level football and sightseeing. Guingamp not only attracts visitors with football matches but also with its special French charm, its rich history and its sights.

the Top Attractions in Guingamp

People counting their steps and food lovers get their money's worth with a walk through the charming centre of Guingamp with its well preserved half-timbered houses. In particular, the Place du Centre with its friendly cafés, restaurants and shops invites you to linger. There you can try typical French and regional specialties including crêpes and galettes.

A ramble through the city centre or a detour to the Basilica Notre-Dame de Bon Secours, the landmark of Guingamp, is recommended for all sightseeing enthusiasts. The church originates from the twelfth century and stands out with its elaborate stained-glass windows and its tower over 50 metres in height – the perfect spot for a photo.

Another historic highlight is the Prison de Guingamp. The former prison from the nineteenth century offers a fascinating insight into crime and punishment and prison life from bygone times. Today the building is used for cultural events but the original cells have been retained.

For history and nature it is worth visiting the Château de Pierre II. The historic castle dates back to the Middle Ages and is beautifully located on the banks of the Trieux river. The ruins of the castle invite visitors to travel back in time to the Middle Ages. The surrounding footpaths are ideal for an enjoyable walk in nature. An ideal place to appreciate the picturesque landscape of Brittany.

The Jardin Public de Guingamp is a perfect place to relax. This wonderful urban park offers a colourful mix of flowerbeds, a pond and shaded areas. The park is ideal for a pleasant walk, a picnic or discovering the green side of Guingamp before heading off to the Stade de Roudourou to support the Werkself in the Champions League game against Stade Brest.

Werkself move up to fourth place after 4-1 win against RB Leipzig

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

Matchday news #B04RBL: All in red for the next top match win

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
