Museum retracing the journey of the Johnnies, Breton merchants who crossed the Channel to sell their onions in England.

The House of the Johnnies retraces the journey of Breton merchants who crossed the Channel to sell their onions in England. This adventure, which began in the 19th century, is still relevant today because the Roscoff onion is still very much in demand, both for its taste and its medicinal virtues. Relive this story through objects, photos, audio and video testimonials. You will discover all the richness of this industry that has made the reputation of Roscoff.

Annoncé comme ouvert sur le site mais fermé en réalité ce jeudi 27 juillet à 15h 50. Lamentable.

L’incontournable à Roscoff pour bien comprendre l’histoire de cette ville et de l’oignon du même nom ????. Très bien animé en ce mercredi par l’accueil de cette jeune fille fort agréable et souriante ????. Prévoir de téléphoner car pas ouvert tout le temps en ce moment ????.

Le musée est petit mais fort intéressant. Il raconte l'histoire de l'oignon de Roscoff mais surtout celle des roscovites qui traversaient le channel pour vendre leurs oignons à Londres et aux Pays de Galles. Par nécessité, ces marchands, surnommés par les anglais les Johnnies, parlaient parfaitement l'anglais. Il y a un côté émouvant à ces Johnnies.
