Roscoff marks the end of our Brittany adventure. The 16th century harbour town is full of granite merchant housing and of course plenty of boats in its very photogenic harbour….
Roscoff is synonymous with the striped top beret wearing ‘Onion Johnies’ who use to load their boats with plaited strings of locally grown pink onions, cross the channel and don their bikes to pedal (literally) their wares in the UK. Also famous in Roscoff is this 16th century Gothic style church which has a double gallery belfry with two levels of bells, considered to be the prototype for many subsequent churches in the region….
Inside, the roof is classic ‘inverted hull’ adorned with these interesting beams (note the mythical creatures head at each end) and ornate painting and carvings...
The figurines appear more akin to ships figureheads….
Lastly………… (apologies in advance)……………… ‘Le French Foon’! haha
