Our list of the most beautiful villages
in North Finistère
Roscoff
Roscoff is a small town full of character, striking for the excellent preservation of its 16th and 17th century architecture. This remarkable seaside resort owes its rich naval history to its deep-water port, which made it a valuable base for privateers and smugglers. Even today, the port of Roscoff serves as a departure point for ferries to England, Ireland and Spain. The old town is also renowned for its abundant and delicious seafood and the gastronomy dedicated to it. There ‘s plenty to do in Roscoff, and from the Bloscon marina you can board a ferry for a Roscoff-England crossing.
Carantec
Less specifically a port town than its neighbors, the charming commune of Carantec is a popular seaside resort that has been well-developed for over a century, and is one of the most beautiful villages in North Finistère. A visit to Carantec reveals a rich, agricultural history, with traces of a military past. The town was fortified by Vauban, and its beaches could be used as landing places, unlike the jagged coastline of Roscoff. The Château du Taureau, situated on an islet, is a remarkable old defensive structure. From our campsite by the sea in North Finistère, we enjoy Carantec for its swimming and walks along the Douaniers trail, its renowned seafood restaurants, but also for the many sporting activities on offer.
Île-de-Batz
Fifteen minutes by boat from Roscoff lies theisland of Batz, a little jewel of tranquility steeped in history. Traces of both the Neolithic and the Middle Ages can be found here, in an area that’s a pleasure to visit on foot. A special place to visit is the Georges Delaselle garden, a peaceful stroll bearing the marks of the past. While the island’s long-standing maritime tradition has left its mark, its agricultural function is more evident, making it a market-gardening area renowned for the quality of its produce. You’ll be delighted to find these products on the local markets.
Saint-Pol-de-Léon
Saint-Pol-de-Léon is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful villages in North Finistère, and a must-see during your stay in Morlaix Bay. A former port and departure point for ships bound for Brazil, Saint-Pol-de-Léon is also a former bishopric with an exceptional architectural heritage. You can visit the ancient cathedral of Saint Paul Aurélien or the Notre-Dame du Kreisker chapel, as well as the old port of Pempoul. It also boasts one of the finest and richest markets in France. Last but not least, Saint-Pol-de-Léon is a lively place for culture, where people flock to enjoy its quality festivals and constant entertainment throughout the summer months.
