Quimper, historic capital of "Cournouaille"

Located in the heart of traditional Brittany and flanked by the Odet and Steir rivers, Quimper is famous for its faience ceramics which have been produced by skilled craftsmen since the 17th century. The Gothic Cathedral of Saint Corentin, pictured on the right, has exceptional 15th century stained glass windows.

Charming old districts, timber framed facades of fine medieval dwellings.
