Le Sailor - Roscoff

We visit this bar very often every year. New owners gave the place a super makeover. Always a friendly welcome. Here you can buy magazines and even bottles of wine. We look forward to our next visit.

We enjoyed our time in Le Sailor Bar very much. Both the bar staff and the locals were really friendly and obliged would recommend it to anyone who lives in Roscoff.

Your average French bar tabac is not exactly the most welcoming place for a visitor: As a rule, the air is a mixture of BO and Stale smoke and you can feel like a bit of an intruder, especially if you don't like horse races. But Le Sailor is... rather different. It is clean, light and airy with what needs to be the cleanest and best rated public loos in Brittany. Common choice of hot, soft and alcoholic drinks, breakfast in the morning at a very reasonable price to sell newspapers, chocolate and a few souvenirs. It is just a few meters from Roscoff station and is very convenient if you wait for a bus or train. A very pleasant place to pass half an hour.

From the Roscoff season it has not been possible to integrate the transport system around Finestre with the ferries arriving from Plymouth. The ferries are planned to arrive at 0800, and there should be a bus service from the port to Morlaix, about... the city center that should wait for the departure foot passengers. It doesn't always happen. The local train from Roscoff to Morlaix almost falls with the ferry time, but this drives around 0800 and does not wait for the connecting bus, if at all. The next scheduled train of Roscoff is then 11.39, which leaves at least three hours to hang when the intention to continue by public transport. The station closes between the departure of the early train up to about an hour before the departure of 11.39 and while the platforms are accessible, the protected waiting room is 't. This is life when the weather is good or you're not loaded with luggage the city is worth a walk. But if not... Fortunately, this small bar/tabac is open and the friendly owners are more than happy to offer protection for all and property, provided they are ready to use the price of a coffee, or maybe a beer, or maybe a coffee and a few beers... This is a real small bar/tabac with easy-going regulars and hanging a few hours allows you to accentuate the Breton ambience and even practice a little with your French language skills. Note that it is not food, in itself, but the Tabac part sells the usual confectionery, etc.

Traditional Tabac Sports Bar. 1664 on tap. What 's not to like. We went in here as there was no bar in our hotel just aound the corner. Obviously a Locals bar. That was not a problem though. Sat at a table and enjoyed our...beers .
