This is our first visit to Roscoff we took a short break with Brittany ferries.We landed in Saint Malo and did a scenic route to Roscoff.Where we stayed for 3 nights Bed and breakfast in a nice Hotel overlooking the harbour.Before catching the ferry a 5 minute drive away.The ferry took about 5 hours for the crossing then unfortunately it took a further 2 hours to open the bow door so we could get off.
We really liked the town it has a nice seafront with plenty of space to park.Several cobbled street with gift shops, restaurants and bars to walk round. Prices were reasonable we bought a large baguette each for a picnic lunch full of ham cheese and salad. We normally stay in a gite in the countryside so it made a nice change to walk round the cobbled street in the evening.
The first photo shows the hotel we stayed in.
The second shows a popular creperie. Which was always busy during our stay so we did not get to try it.
