Quimper Hotels

Quimper is a city in the province of Brittany, France. It is the prefecture of the Finistere department and its inhabitants are named Quimperois, they were 67,127 in 1999. The name 'Quimper' comes from the Breton kemper, which means confluent, because the city has been built on the confluence of the Steir and the Odet rivers. The city was first named Quimper-Corentin (Saint Corentin was its first bishop), then has been renamed Montagne sur Odet during the French Revolution and is now just 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 Finistere’s thriving capital. Derived from the Breton word kemper, meaning ‘confluence’, Quimper sits at the juncture of the small Rivers Odet and Steďr, crisscrossed by footbridges with cascading flowers.
