Absolutely lovely. Well planted, well maintained, good labelling and information boards. It was very colourful. The rocks and viewpoints are impressive. Well worth visiting.
The Exotic Garden of Roscoff offers an impressing richness of tropic plants from all over the world. For botanic lovers a „must seen“ in the French Bretagne.
A wonderful garden to visit. Very friendly reception. Gorgeous plants. We really appreciated the English translations, the information provided was very educational. Thank you.
Beautiful array of flowers, cacti and trees. Viewing point was worth the trip alone. We saw quite a few butterflies, koi fish and birds. Definitely worth the trip and reasonable price.
A wonderful little garden. Grey skies on the day we visited, but the flowers and plants were amazing. Good views of the harbour from the lookout.
A nice exotic garden you wouldn't expect in Brittany. If you're a gardening enthusiast, then it is worth seeing. Well maintained and clean.
Well worth the visit. Magnificent haven for exotic plants.
Some really cool plants to see here. From the top of the rock you have a really nice view.

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 8
Large church in the centre of town with a most unusual steeple. Around the church are information boards about the carvings in the church walls and how the steeple was built.
I came here while escorting my friend named Crawford. I was amazed at the beauty and architecture of the church. The only complain was that there was a person in the entrance that refused to let me in for a long time.
Visted this church after reciving a note from a french guy. It was really gloomy, a lot of odd people about too. Most weren't too friendly, Grabbing, trying to eat me, and so on. It was odd. If you get past all that than its a good building. If you're visiting here, only thing I recommend is to never leave the boat at the docks. Anyways all in all i thought it was okay. French people do seem odd these days though....
Me and the fellow marines of the USS Constitution were sent here to pick up our ambassador to France from the blight, some frenchman thought it would be funny to lock us out of this church so our souls get harvested by those vampires, luckily we got in last second and took his life instead, once we took care of him we went inside the church and found several englishmen tied inside, they told us he was in one of the farmhouses, so our journey was a long and bloody one. Aside from vampires this town is very neat, especially this church 😁😁
This was a great experience! Me and my friends arrived at 6, and we were going to enter but the people running the church closed in on us and didn't let us in. Thankfully the kind grey locals outside were very generous with their barrels and axes, and helped us get inside. Anyways we killed the French soldier who didn't let us in and met our friend Crawford (he died 💔) Overall, it was a great experience if it weren't for the fact that I was the only one who got the flight back home because all my friends got mauled by the other less friendly locals and even drowned. It's OK I guess
Elegant gothic church with some interesting architectural features. A lovely place to spend a bit of time in quiet contemplation.
I went here, because i was trying to find a man named "Crawford" with my friends. One soldier inside the church refused to let us in and summoned vampires on us. Please kindly fire that soldier for attempting to murder us with vampires
Came here because my friend, very nice guy by the way, went on a job trip as a diplomat and got lost in the city. On my way to pick him up me and the boys stumbled upon the church, very beautiful and amazing place. One thing, be careful when you go there because there sometimes are crazy people inside blocking the entrance so you'll have to fight the horde of zombies that may come. 90% recommended, very nice.

Really nice walk and view- no interior access
Beautiful old church. Really peaceful inside. Well worth a visit.
Great location to see the Roscoff ferry in and out of the harbour.
Great views over Roscoff old and new ports. Informative displays around the chapel itself, convenient parking nearby. Need to climb steps to get up to the chapel, and they are quite badly worn so take care
Nice chapel, some good translated information boards and a couple if seats to take in the views.
What amazing views from here. Charming little chapel on top of the world.
A small story (1st pic for curious people that want to know abt the history of this place). It is quite cool, "cold" :)
Nice view from the chapel 💒

(Translated by Google) Small museum, but the explanations about the origins of the Johnies, their living conditions and their ways of doing things are very detailed! (Original) Petit musée, mais les explications sur les origines des Johnies, leurs conditions de vie et leurs manières de faire sont très détaillées !
This is a very interesting museum all about the history of the Roscoff Onion and the Johnny l'ognions of France. English information is available. Don't expect to be here long! We were here for just under an hour. There are toilets but no cafe (not needed as there are so many eateries in Roscoff). Adults entry fee €5, students entry fee €3 and children aged 10 and under are free (Aug 2023). I liked it because I'm interested in the history of places we visit, but just don't expect to fill your day here!
Rip-off! Small display, just 2 rooms. Much material on floor rather than on walls. Video display not working. Save your money, unless you speak French and can understand the guided tour.
Interesting little museum. English information booklet they gave us was very good. Didn't take long to take it all in. Suggestion... A little gift of a single Roscoff onion with each ticket purchased would be a really quirky USP! One minor issue: no soap in the toilets and after asking still no soap!
(Translated by Google) One positive point: the receptionist is very kind. Other than that, this museum is just awful and incomplete: there are two meager rooms dueling, each with texts hanging on it. Audio-guide phones are scattered all over the place—er, sorry, MP3 players placed on wooden boards—and accessing the audio tracks is a real obstacle course, and even if you do manage it, which is no easy feat, you still have to listen to what is painfully explained. For 5 euros admission, I absolutely do not recommend it; the entire tour lasts a maximum of half an hour. And what's more, you can forget about the onion tasting promised on the website. This museum is incomplete, deceptive, and very poorly organized. (Original) Un seul point positif : la personne de l’accueil est très gentille. Mis à part ça, ce musée est juste nul est incomplet : il y a deux pauvres salles qui se battent en duel, où sont accrochés des textes, des téléphones audioguides sont disposés un peu partout, euh pardon, des lecteurs mp3 posés sur des planches de bois, et pour accéder aux pistes audio c’est un véritable parcours du combattant, et si on y parvient, ce qui n’est pas gagné, il faut encore entendre ce qui y est péniblement expliqué. Pour 5 euros l’entrée, je ne recommande absolument pas, la visite complète dure au maximum une demi heure. Et en plus, vous pouvez oublier la dégustation à l’oignon promise sur le site. Ce musée est incomplet, menteur et très mal organisé.
(Translated by Google) Nice little museum interesting about the life of the johnnies, these onion carriers of Roscoff who left for months until 1968 with their bicycles to Great Britain to deliver their strings of red onions which made the reputation of Roscoff and its region. (Original) Gentil petit musée intéressant sur la vie des johnnies ces porteurs d'oignons de Roscoff qui partaient pour des mois jusqu'en 1968 avec leurs vélos en Grande Bretagne pour livrer leurs chapelets d'oignons rouges qui font la réputation de Roscoff et de sa région.
(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum, testimonies of old Johnnies, period images, period videos, the person who defined this museum as useless must not be interested in culture (Original) Musee très intéressant témoignages des anciens johnnies, images d époque, vidéos d époque la personne qui a défini ce musée comme nul ne doit pas être intéressée par la culture
(Translated by Google) No one welcoming at the entrance, the rest without human attraction disappointing too expensive. Fortunately yesterday we visited the net museum very interesting and human (Original) Personne accueillant a l 'entrée, le reste sans attractive humaine décevant trop cher. Heureusement hier nous avons visité le musée du filet très intéressant et Humain

(Translated by Google) Excellent welcome. The store is run by a very knowledgeable person. The choice of food algae is interesting. I tried lots of things and put into practice all the advice given as soon as I got home, notably sea spaghetti on skewers for shrimp a la plancha. What a great idea! Very happy with my purchases. (Original) Accueil excellent. La boutique est tenue par une personne de très bon conseil. Le choix des algues alimentaires est intéressant. J'ai essayé plein de trucs et ai mis en pratique tous les conseils donnés dès mon retour à la maison notamment les spaghettis de la mer en support de brochettes pour les crevettes à la plancha. Quelle bonne idée ! Très contente de mes achats.
(Translated by Google) I tested Thalado marine cream and I am very satisfied with it! I had dryness on my forehead for years, it has finally disappeared thanks to this superb product!
