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.

La maison des Johnnies est un petit musée très intéressant. La visite est en autonomie mais les explications sont suffisantes pour comprendre la vie des Johnnies.
La personne de l’accueil est extrêmement sympathique .

Intéressant d'en savoir plus sur ces hommes qui partaient vendre les oignons de Roscoff en Grande Bretagne. Nous avons particulierement apprécié le témoignage de la femme d'un ancien Johnnie lors de l'animation dégustation.

Perte de temps et d’argent, 5€ l’entrée par personne pour 2 pièces. Les photos d’illustrations sont floues, on ne voit même pas d’oignons ou de tresse et aucune explication sur le tressage (nombre d’oignon par tresse notamment). L’endroit est vieillot et l’accueil pourrait être plus aimable.

Interesting little museum. English information booklet they gave us was very good. Didn't take long to take it all in. Suggestion... A little gift of a single Roscoff onion with each ticket purchased would be a really quirky USP!

One minor issue: no soap in the toilets and after asking still no soap!
