Quimper gites – a perfect holiday for all

Quimper, Breton for ‘meeting of two rivers’, is located on the north-west side of Brittany, and is home to a magnificent gothic cathedral. As far as the eye can see the two spires of St Corentin Cathedral dominate the skyline. It is well worth a visit to view the stunning interior. Afterwards take a stroll through the pleasant streets that are enclosed by the well-preserved traditional half-timbered houses and visit the boutiques and creperies that are present on every street corner. The crepe is a specialty in this area, so make sure to sample one…or two! To work off the Quimper delicacies climb up Mont Frugy, a large green hill located to the south of the river. The climb is well worth the view of the city that is spread out below. Quimper is known for its distinctive faience, a white glazed pottery painted with colourful patterns and designs.
