Taxi Roscoff → Brest
Your Roscoff → Brest transfer at €125–€155. 65 km via the D58 and N12.
A taxi between Roscoff and Brest costs between €125 and €155 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 65 kilometres and a journey time of from 50 to 70 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D58 then N12, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €200. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

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.
Route
Route Roscoff → Brest
From Roscoff port or the Brittany Ferries terminal, your driver takes the D58 towards Saint-Pol-de-Leon, a former episcopal city just 5 km away. Saint-Pol-de-Leon's 13th-century cathedral and the Kreisker chapel with its 77-metre steeple — Brittany's tallest — are worth a glance from the road. You then pass through the Leon golden belt market-garden country of artichokes, cauliflowers, shallots and early potatoes, making this France's foremost vegetable-growing region. The road joins the D769 then the N12 near Morlaix, passing close to the monumental viaduct without entering the town. The toll-free N12 dual carriageway heads west across the Leon plateau via Pleyber-Christ and Landivisiau, past the famous parish closes of Saint-Thegonnec and Guimiliau, before descending towards Brest via the Iroise bridge. The arrival offers panoramic views of the harbour, naval port and castle. The full journey takes 50 minutes normally and up to 1h10 in summer or when a ferry has just docked.
