Quimper… Capital of the Pays Glazic, capital of Cornouaille, capital of the crêpe, or capital of Breton culture. So many facets for an art and history city full of charm.
Starting from the Saint-Corentin cathedral, this walk invites you to discover Quimper gently, through its must-see places and its characterful alleys. Here, no long speeches: simply the essentials to understand the city, its history and its identity, throughout your walk.
After a well-deserved lunch break, continue your discovery in a more natural and cultural atmosphere, following the flow of the Odet. From Mont Frugy to the Locmaria quarter, let yourself be carried between landscapes, heritage and little touches of Breton culture, from yesterday and today.
Accessible to everyone, this route is done at your own pace, without constraint. A simple and pleasant way to enjoy Quimper, with the bonus of our best addresses for having a drink, eating on the go, or bringing back a nice souvenir.
This day is ideal for those who wish to take their time, vary the atmospheres and discover Quimper under all its facets.

Why?
Easier to find a spot in one of the free car parks near the city centre, so you can start your walk with peace of mind.
More pleasant to discover the City in the morning (less crowded than in the afternoon).
At the end of July, the Festival de Cornouaille takes place. Access to Quimper will be subject to a fee on certain days and the crowds will be significant; it is therefore preferable to avoid those days for your walk.
