Quimper © S. Möller |
Overview: Quimper, Brittany's oldest city, beckons those who need nothing
more from a holiday than cobbled streets to wander through, a lazy
river to cruise gently down or a wide selection of cafés and
bars to sample. The idyllic holiday town of Quimper, spread around
the junction of the Steir and Odet Rivers on the western edge of
Brittany, serves the purpose well.
Fortunately Quimper was spared the bombs of WWII and has escaped
too much modern development, so the medieval character remains
intact with old buildings overhanging narrow lanes and footbridges.
If you can bestir yourself to investigate the local interests take
a tour of one of the pottery studios that has been turning out
internationally renowned Quimperware for centuries.
