The Plouescat Market Halls are a civil monument located in Plouescat, France. The market halls are located on Place du Général de Gaulle, in the center of Plouescat, in Finistère, in the Brittany region of France. These halls have the distinction of being the only half-timbered halls in Finistère. The halls date from the 16th century and were built under the orders of the Lord of Kerouzéré, a local nobleman. Over time, they housed various markets and fairs; upstairs, two chambers existed: the seigniorial justice was administered and a space, possibly for storage, was present. These chambers have now disappeared. The covered market halls were sold as national property during the Revolution, then purchased by a private individual, and then repurchased by the town hall in 1822. They were listed as historical monuments by decree of June 18, 1915, and were renovated in 2012. The building boasts impressive architecture: 40 oak posts support a slate-covered roof. The floor area is 300 square meters. A copper plaque dated 1758 lists Plouescat's fair and market rights. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halles_de_Plouescat

There are plenty of stones here. Some even have a stone in their garden. But there's something monumental about this height.

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.
