Roscoff - Finistère
|
The port of Roscoff has seen quite a few celebrities in its time.
Mary, Queen of Scots, arrived here at the age of six to be engaged
to the Dauphin; Bonnie Prince Charlie fled here after Culloden and,
in 1828, Henri Olivier left for England with his strings of onions.
The seaside resort today has a fine waterfront and a good choice
of beaches, the best being the sandy one at Laber.

Around the church of Notre Dame de Croatz Batz, there are some fine
old houses – including the one where Mary Stuart stayed. The botanical
garden, with some lovely views over the Bay of Morlaix, is a short drive
south of the town.
Alternatively, a 15 minute boat ride will take you to the charming Ile
de Batz, with its exotic gardens and impressive lighthouse.
