Quimper Tourist Office

Quimper, town of art and history. It stands at a confluence and crossing at the head of an estuary, two thousand-year old town of Gallo-Roman origin.

Located by the river Odet, Quimper has always been a sheltered place and a crossing point. As far back as the roman conquest a small urban center settled round a port opened to the mediterranean world, downstream from the actual town.
