Best Quimper Tours and Activities | Top Things to Do

Welcome to the heart of Brittany! Quimper is a charming city known for its half-timbered houses, winding alleys, and riverside beauty. With its rich culture and vibrant local life, it offers a real taste of authentic France. Discover unique traditions, impressive Gothic architecture, and delightful cuisine in every corner.

A Short History

The city has deep Celtic roots and has flourished since Roman times. Once a bishopric and a key regional centre, it boasts a splendid cathedral and picturesque old quarters that have stood the test of time. Local legends and centuries-old crafts, like the famous faience pottery, add character to the city’s colourful past.

Best Time to Visit

Spring and summer are especially pleasant, with mild temperatures and lively festivals, such as the renowned Festival de Cornouaille in July. Autumn brings a quieter charm and lovely colours, perfect for exploring at a relaxed pace. Winters are mild, but rain is more frequent.

What are the top things to do?

Strolling through the medieval centre, visiting the Saint-Corentin Cathedral, and exploring local markets are musts. Don't miss the Musée des Beaux-Arts for art lovers, and sample delicious Breton crepes or seafood in one of the cozy bistros.

How much time do I need in the city?

A day or two is enough to see the main attractions, but staying longer lets you fully enjoy the relaxed pace and nearby day trips to the Breton countryside or coast.
