Roscoff is a bustling seaside town situated north of the Baie de Morlaix.
Framed with flowers and granite, this "Petite Cité de Caractère" ("Little City of Character") is proudly anchored on the sea and has preserved the spirit of artists, merchants and corsairs who have written its history. The old port is an ongoing marine theater with many events happening all-year-round, commercial fishing boats, ferries, recreational boats, "goémoniers" (flat-bottomed boats used to collect seaweed)...
Take a walk through the pittoresque streets of the historic town overlooking the sea. Closeby, the finely chiseled bell tower of Our-Lady of Croas Batz church (16th century) appears. Peep inside to admire the rich and surprising ornaments. The shipowners mansions, with their richly sculpted facades and cellar entrances peeking above ground level highlight their originality and uniqueness.
