PMU bar/tobacconist with large terrace and large room with games
Friendly An opening not long ago But very helpful
We really enjoyed our time in Le Sailor bar. Both the bar staff and the locals were really friendly and obliging would recommend it to anyone staying in Roscoff.
Welcome and pleasant atmosphere
Out of season Roscoff hasn 't quite managed to integrate the transportation system around Finestre with the overnight ferries arriving from Plymouth. The ferries are scheduled to arrive at 0800 and there is supposed to be a bus service onwards from the port to Morlaix, via the town centre, which should wait for departing foot passengers. This doesn 't always happen. The local train from Roscoff to Morlaix almost coincides with the ferry time too, but that departs at 0800 and doesn 't wait for the connecting bus, if any. The next scheduled train from Roscoff is then 11.39 which leaves at least three hours hanging if intending to continue by public transport. The station closes between the departure of the early train until about an hour before the departure of the 11.39 and whilst the platforms are accessible the sheltered waiting room isn 't. Such is life if the weather is good or you 're not over laden with luggage the town is well worth a wander. But if not... Fortunately this little bar/tabac is open and the friendly owners are more than happy to provide shelter to all and sundry provided they are willing to part with the price of a coffee, or maybe a beer, or maybe a coffee and a couple of beers... This is a proper little bar/tabac with easy going regulars and hanging a couple of hours allows you to acclimatise to the Breton ambience and even practice a little with your French language skills. Note that it doesn 't do food, per se, but the tabac part sells the usual confectionery etc.
