Quimper
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 World War II 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.
