More About Roscoff
Roscoff (Rosko to the Bretons) is further west than Perros Guirec, and it is the southernmost cross-channel ferry port, with links to Plymouth and Cork. It is protected from harsh seas by the Ile de Batz just offshore, and the town is made up of 16th-century granite houses that are clustered around a small bay, making Roscoff a much more attractive place to arrive than some of the other ferry ports on this coast.
The Port of Roscoff provides a convenient gateway into western France. Situated on the coast of Brittany, the small fishing village of Roscoff has about 3500 inhabitants. The port has been operational since 1973 although passengers won't find extensive facilities at the terminal; they will find a small convenience shop and some vending machines.
Ferries sail to both Rosslare and Cork in Ireland. Irish Ferries operates the crossings between Roscoff and Rosslare, while Brittany Ferries manages the crossings from Roscoff to Cork.

Roscoff Things to Do
The fishing and pleasure port and the rue Gambetta are at the heart of Roscoff town, the roads leading away from the old port all being primarily residential. There are restaurants in place de la République just to the west of the quai d'Auxerre, and the rue Amiral Réveilère, a continuation of rue Gambetta, leads northwest to the place Lacaze-Duthiers where the Église Notre Dame de Kroaz-Batz is situated. This 16th-century church has a Renaissance belfry and nautical-themed sculptures, and rows of bells like a tiered cake.
The church, Roscoff
The church at Roscoff, "Notre Dame de Croas-Batz" primarily of Gothic design, was begun around 1520 and only finished in 1701. A change in design was made in 1576 with the building of the magnificent Rennaissance belfry.
Amiral Reveillere, Roscoff
Just at the entrance to the leisure port and parking are two houses known as "The Mary Stuart houses". Mary Stuart landed here in 1548 and the legend goes that the future Queen of France and Scotland stayed in these houses.
If Local Art Is Your Thing
As would be expected from such a scenic location Roscoff has several commercial art galleries with works by local artists for sale. Unfortunately on an out of season Monday none of them were open but the window displays certainly are tempting.
Get A Beer While Waiting For Your Ferry
Once you get back to the ferry port and have checked-in; if your ferry isn't ready for boarding the L'accostage cafe-bar at the port is quite a pleasant, friendly, place to have a quick beer or two. This has the advantage of opening onto the departures area and so you can board relatively quickly.
The best beach in Roscoff is at Laber, a kilometre further on from the Thalassotherapy Institute, where sea water is used along with algae as a health treatment. The expensive hotels and restaurants are concentrated around this beach, but the old harbour has more ambience and you can get boat trips to the Ile de Batz (pronounced Ba) from here. It is also in Roscoff that the traditional image of French men in black berets, complete with strings of onions, was born. Henri Ollivier took onions from Roscoff to England in 1828 and until the 1930s 'Johnnies' (French farmers) would load up their boats with local produce and sail to England, where they delivered to local markets on their bicycles.
The tourist office is at 46 rue Gambetta (02 98 61 12 13) in an attractive stone building north of the place de la République. Hotels in Roscoff are plentiful, with late-night arrivals expected due to the ferries. There are a couple of good hotels on the rue Amiral Réveillère in the old town: try the Hotel-Restaurant des Arcades at number 15 (02 98 69 70 45) which has rooms from €30-40, or the Les Chardons Bleus at number 4 (02 98 69 72 03) with a good restaurant and rooms from €40-55. Eating in the hotel dining rooms is a good option, as long as you arrive before 9pm, otherwise there are pizzerias, creperies and seafood outlets dotted about.
