Introducing Quimper

Small enough to feel like a village with its slanted half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets, and large enough to buzz as the troubadour of Breton culture and arts, Quimper (pronounced kam-pair) is Finistère’s thriving capital. Derived from the Breton word kemper, meaning ‘confluence’, Quimper sits at the juncture of the small Rivers Odet and Steïr, crisscrossed by footbridges with cascading flowers.
