Food, glorious food

The gentle climate on Finistère’s north coast facilitates a bounty of delicious produce: try cauliflowers, globe artichokes and Roscoff ’s celebrated pink onions, which — thanks to the town’s history of ‘Onion Johnny’ sellers — have their own museum. There’s even an annual festival in their honour. The coastline offers a huge variety of seafood, from giant crabs and fat, juicy langoustines, to daily fresh fish and edible seaweed gathered from the rocky beaches.
