A perfect spot for a post ride coffee.

A chapel under the protection of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of sailors, adjoining the hospital building was erected after 1600. In the Gothic style, this small building with its two ogival windows and its west gable adorned with a stone boat was remodeled in the 18th century. In 1661, a priest, Ollivier Henry, was installed there to "instruct and guide the poor, hear their confessions, administer extreme unction, and bury them." Engagements, weddings, and funerals were celebrated there. A few generous donors were allowed to be buried there. During the American Revolutionary War, to guard against any English incursion, the army installed artillery pieces on the coast. These were stored in the chapel "much to the dismay" of the priest, who, reduced to being able to accommodate only a few worshippers for services, also saw a decrease in income from collections. On March 29, 1789, breaking the contract that bound them to Saint-Paul, the heads of the Roscoff families gathered there to draw up their own "book of grievances." https://www.roscoff-tourisme.com/fr/fiche/patrimoine-culturel/chapelle-saint-nicolas-roscoff_TFOPCUBRE029V52PKN5/

beautiful Corsair city

The church in Roscoff has a distinct architecture, and is beautiful and tranquil inside. Why not spend a few minutes of calmness there, and give thanks before carrying on your bike ride.

Velodysee route - turn left as you leave Roscoff ferry port access road. However if time allows, turn right and go into Roscoff town itself. Even 15 - 20 mins cycling around will be a rewarding experience.

Built on the remains of a Romanesque cathedral from the 11th century, the Gothic cathedral of Saint-Paul-Aurélien, a minor basilica known as the Annunciation, has a remarkable nave from the 12th century in Caen limestone, a complex almost unique in Brittany, and a choir in granite from the 15th century.

Decorated with countless little windows and in perfect condition. We tried to enter, the doors were closed. We have a little information about it on the Internet: https://www.leos-ferienwelt.de/bretagne_kirche_roscoff.htm

A pretty old town with lots of Breton charm, highly recommended.
