Quimper © S. Möller
Overview: Brittany's oldest city beckons those who need nothing more from a few days' break than cobbled streets to wander through, a lazy river to cruise gently down, or a wide selection of cafes and bars to sample. The idyllic town of Quimper, spread around the junction of the Steir and Odet Rivers on the western edge of Brittany, serves the purpose well. Fortunately it 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.
