Quimper is surprisingly little-known beyond a few Britannyphiles. Certainly, I’d never heard of the place until a few years ago when in pleasant Rennes, and trying to shake off the severe underwhelming disappointment of poor, dear war-blasted Brest, when someone suggested the place. Quimper, for me, has 3 core things going in its favour. Firstly, it’s full of history (mostly still-standing, fortunately) and this richness is palpable from the moment you arrive. Its streets are stuffed with pretty, often half-timbered, houses and the Gothic St Corentin Cathedral provides a grand focal-point. Secondly, it’s small(ish). It has a villagey feel, notwithstanding its 60,000 population, and everything worth seeing is within easy striking-distance. And thirdly, and for me perhaps most importantly, it has a palpable soul. Pretty as it is, it hasn’t sold its soul to the soiled terms and conditions of mass tourism. The shopkeepers are friendly, people smile (not always with great teeth, tbh, for this *is* France, after all) and there is just a very lovely air of somewhere not only pleasant to while away a day of your life, but also pleasant enough to while away the rest of the days of your life. In sum, visit it. If only to shake off the severe bathetic emptiness of Brest.

@@brigittelecalvez4019 Oû voyez vous des insultes dans mon texte ? Mais une stricte vérité qui témoigne le souhait de se tourner vers d'autres villes plus dynamiques, telle Lorient et son festival très prisé ! Alors que le cornouaille se casse la gueule ! Il faut se poser des question ! Qper est certes une jolie ville...mais sans ses habitants et ses commercants peux crédules !!!J'y suis né 27 place St Mathieu il y à bien longtemps, c'était un autre Quimper bien convivial !!!

Magnifique patrimoine :)
joli ville !!!
mais la population et les élus locaux se croient au sommet du monde! Des ploucs en fait qui ne sortent jamais de leur trou!
J'ai la chance d'habiter la plus belle ville de Bretagne
