Itinerary
A name that makes us smile, an appearance that enchants us and a scent of black wheat and mixed wheat that makes us hungry, it takes no more than Place-au-Beurre to curry favor with its visitors.
In the small town of Quimper, your eyes will quickly get used to sweeping buildings with medieval, Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
On the banks of the Odet, Quimper is rejuvenated by offering us a trip back in time, when the Roaring Twenties and the Belle Époque were in full swing.
As Quimperians will proudly point out, visiting Quimper means learning a little more about the city known as the capital of Cornwall.
Let’s ring the bells loudly, because here we are in front of what is the landmark of the city: the famous Cathedral of Saint-Corentin.
The Steïr, the Odet and the Frout are the three waterways without which the prefecture of Finistère would not be the same. A geographical plan, certainly, but also an identity plan. And yes, Quimper, from Breton kemper, means “confluence”.
If he called himself “born for Brittany”, Quimper is truly the city where his existence began. Who are we talking about?
For its beauty and pleasant surroundings, the Odet often makes a good Impression. In the Belle Époque, the river was even the preserve of aristocratic families who set up their manor houses and other castles on its banks.
A huge wooded wall, parallel to the Odet, Mont Frugy is inseparable from the landscape of Quimper. The inhabitants know him so well by heart that they don’t really pay attention to him anymore.
In the service of good food in Quimper, the Saint-François halls is a name that comes up almost systematically. With them, the premises are formal, it is all the friendliness and quality of the products of the city, and its surroundings, that come together.
Breton, warm, ancestral and authentic, Quimper is not the kind of city to give itself air. It’s even the opposite!
Slowly, but surely, you are about to cross the second stream of Quimper, the Steïr. What today is a rather trivial action, was much less so centuries ago.
