Built around 1830, the church features a Leonard-style bell tower with two galleries and a projecting spire (1697-1700), and a kersanton statue of Saint-Ké. https://www.roscoff-tourisme.com/fr/fiche/patrimoine-culturel/eglise-saint-pierre-cleder_TFOPCUBRE029V52PKG2/

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/

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

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.
