Roscoff

For this third stop, I suggest you stop at Rosko (Roscoff in Breton). This town is located 72km or 1h15 drive from Perros-Guirec. This is the last town you can explore the north coast of Brittany.

(After the trip around the Brittany will be accomplished, I plan to concentrate and make you discover some islands easily accessible from the cities that I offer. See you in the end to know everything!)

Little information: it is a city serviced by Brittany Ferries as Saint-Malo but it also has a connection with Spain for the bravest!

• A day at Roscoff:

Roscoff is a small city, activities are scarce. It is therefore a quiet town, full of charm where the days are punctuated by the sound of waves, walks along the beaches and discover the land of Brittany. A simple idea is to take his car where rent one for people who do not have and let loose on the surrounding roads. The landscape of this city are perhaps the most typical of the Breton landscapes, you will see the villages where houses are of origins, built of stone, the small village composed of one or several bakeries (very typical in Brittany!), churches are also original and preserved architecture.

Anecdote: the famous Roscoff onions. The mild climate also promotes market gardening and especially that of succulent Onion Roscoff protected by an AOC and AOP. This local product is part of local history through the human adventure of Johnnies. Since the nineteenth century, the Johnnies, Roscoff onions dealers, depart every August, on the other side of the Channel, sell their onions.
