Taxi Roscoff → Brest

Roscoff is a gem of northern Finistere, a small corsair town and fishing port famed for its AOP pink onions — the legendary Johnnies, Roscoff onion sellers who from the 19th century crossed the English Channel on their boats to sell braided onions door-to-door in England and Wales. Today Roscoff is a major ferry port linking Brittany to Plymouth (Brittany Ferries, 6-hour crossing), a renowned thalassotherapy centre, a boarding point for the Ile de Batz (15-minute crossing) and home to the Station Biologique de Roscoff, an internationally acclaimed marine research laboratory founded in 1872. The old port with its 16th-17th century granite shipowners' houses, the Notre-Dame de Croaz-Batz church with its unique Renaissance lantern steeple, the exotic garden (3,500 subtropical species thriving thanks to the Gulf Stream) and the Maison des Johnnies museum create a remarkable heritage. Taxis from Roscoff to Brest are especially popular with Brittany Ferries passengers landing at Roscoff and heading to Brest, Ile de Batz visitors, thalasso guests and families holidaying on Finistere's north coast.
