Quimper is a lovely unspoilt, historical, medieval city.
Step back in time as you wander the lovely cobbled streets and discover the many shops, bars, restaurants, local produce market, traditional merchandise, historical buildings, museums, cathedrals and churches.
Quimper is home to the famous HB Henriot Porcelain Factory, where you can visit the working shop/museum and maybe treat yourself to a piece.
It is about a 15 minute stroll from the camp site to the centre of Quimper.
