Roscoff
Rosko
A north-coast port town of old sea captains, with granite mansions and an openwork bell-tower church. Boats run to Batz Island, a garden island, and ferries sail to England.
Roscoff was once a port for smugglers and onion merchants. The old town has the 16th-century Notre-Dame de Kreisker church, whose bell tower is carved with ships and cannons. The ferry takes 15 minutes to Batz Island, which has tropical gardens and white sandy beaches. The town also has a seaweed thalassotherapy centre. About 60 km from Brest, roughly one hour by car.
