Quimper is the historic capital of Cornouaille and the prefecture of Finistere, a city of art and history nestled at the confluence of the Steir, Jet and Odet rivers. The Saint-Corentin Cathedral, a masterpiece of Breton Gothic completed in the 15th century, dominates the town centre with its 76-metre twin spires. The old town unfolds a maze of medieval lanes lined with colourful half-timbered houses, traditional creperies and faience shops — the famous Henriot-Quimper pottery, founded in 1690, carries on a tricentennial craft recognised worldwide. The Festival de Cornouaille, held each July, is the largest Breton culture festival with festou-noz, bagadou concerts, traditional costume parades and dance competitions. Taxis from Brest are popular with travellers arriving at Brest-Bretagne airport, festival-goers and families heading to Cornouaille's seaside resorts (Benodet, Fouesnant, Concarneau).
Route
Route Brest → Quimper
From Brest, your driver takes the N165, a completely toll-free expressway heading south through Finistere. You leave Brest along the left bank of the Penfeld, briefly skirting the harbour before heading inland. The landscape is the Leon plateau — rolling bocage dotted with distinctive Finistere bell towers. After Daoulas junction, the road enters the Aulne gorges and crosses Chateaulin, a small riverside town known for its salmon runs in spring. Past Chateaulin, the expressway skirts the southern slopes of the Montagnes Noires with views over the Cornouaille countryside, its calvaries and parish closes. Arrival in Quimper is via the northern bypass, leading directly to the historic centre, railway station or Locmaria quarter. The journey takes 50 minutes normally and can reach 1h10 during festival periods or summer.

Specific tips for the Brest → Quimper route
In Quimper, parking in the historic centre is limited and metered — the taxi drops you directly at Place Saint-Corentin or your hotel. Saint-Corentin Cathedral is free to visit and worth seeing for its 13th-15th century stained glass. The Faience Museum (Rue Jean-Baptiste Bousquet, 5 euros) traces the history of Quimper pottery since 1690. The covered market at Halles Saint-Francois (daily except Sunday afternoon) is renowned for its fishmongers, cheese sellers and crepe makers. The walk along the Odet from the centre to Locmaria (2 km, 30 min) offers charming riverside views. The Festival de Cornouaille (late July, 5 days) draws 250,000 spectators — book your taxi in advance.
