Crossed by the odet, Quimper which old city knew to keep its seal of medieval city, proudly raises its wood sides houses, marks of its architectural culture. Here, we are in a country of legend and hardly left the city, you discover the forest of the legend of King Arthur, of the knights of the Roundtable, the search of Graal and the so disconcerting relation between the queen Guenievre and Lancelot of the Lake. In holidays rental in the old city, you will be pleased to walk in a district with the paved lanes and partially surrounded by medieval walls.
Quimper is also known to be the city of earthenware, activity which mainly ensured the prosperity of the area . Today 2 companies, HB HENRIOT installed in the district of Loc Mairia and the Faience manufacture of Breton Art perpetuate this ancestral art.
In evening summer, the holiday maker can spend a moment at the terraces of the city and consume the local speciality, the Breton pancakes accompanied by cider.
Proud of its culture the town of Quimper organizes the Festival of Cornwall which is held every year at July.
If Quimper is a very pretty city, Brittany remains a magic place. During his stay in Brittany the holiday maker will in a few kilometers visit the country bigouden, discover the very beautiful beaches of sand of the southern part of Finistere or contemplate from the Pointe du Raz a sunset on the Atlantic Ocean. Let's remember that Brittany is a country of sailors and almost all the coastal villages propose a wide range of nautical activities (windsurf, fishes at sea, sports of beach…) and of stroll at sea, in a rented boat . Lastly, remains the possibility of spending its days in the watery center of Quimper where the swimming pool with waves will (almost) give you the same vibrations that a diving the ocean.
