Quimper

Quimper has served as an episcopal centre in Brittany since the early Middle Ages. Set at the confluence of the Odet and Steïr rivers, it was the historic capital of Cornouaille, a Breton region whose identity still informs local traditions. Saint-Corentin Cathedral, begun in the 13th century, dominates the old centre with twin spires and an unusually off-axis nave, shaped by its long construction. Half-timbered houses and granite façades line streets near the rivers, while the Musée départemental breton presents the region’s art and heritage.
