   • Emma B. 10 contributions. Beautiful Cathedral with stunning stain glass windows. We enjoyed the walk around this beautiful cathedral. We were lucky to enjoy music from the organ during our visit.
   • Martin H. Hong Kong, China 867 contributions. A Good Museum. This museum is free and covers two floors. I'm surprised how much art they have on display for a small museum.
   • GranZorro. Zug, Switzerland 1,504 contributions. Quimper and Bretagne take good care of their cultural heritage. An unexpectedly amazing museum. Rather than just dry historic and archeological exhibits, which of course belong to this kind of museum, the place surprised us with a well-thought-out and executed special show about traditional Breton garb/costumes and the animals that inspired it..
   • Gemma H. 5 contributions. Hidden gem. We stumbled upon these gardens on a visit to Vieux Quimper. A beautiful, magical place with a mix of tropical plants and historic structures.

   • Quimper Cathedral. Often the best cathedrals are the ones that are a bit irregular, and Quimper’s certainly comes into that category. This magnificent building is unique because the north side of the nave curves slightly inwards at the middle; this was done to avoid an area of swampy ground during construction in the 13th century.
   • Musée des Beaux-Arts. Much of what greets you at Quimper’s Fine Arts Museum belonged to one man, Jean-Marie de Silguy, who donated more than a thousand works in 1864 on the proviso that the city built a museum in which to display them.
   • Musée de la Faïence. For a lot of people “Quimper” means ceramics: Faïence pottery has been produced in the Locmaria quarter, just southwest of the centre of Quimper, since the late-17th century.
   • Musée Départemental Breton. In the Episcopal palace where the Cornouaille Bishops lived from the 1500s to the 1800s, the Breton Departmental Museum is an absorbing ride through the rich heritage and culture of Quimper and Finistère.
