Taxi Lorient → Quimper
Your Lorient → Quimper transfer at €130–€155. 67 km via the N165.
A taxi between Lorient and Quimper costs between €130 and €155 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 67 kilometres and a journey time of from 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N165, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €205. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

The Lorient to Quimper journey links two major cities of southern Brittany, each with a strong and complementary identity. Lorient, the city of five ports rebuilt after World War II bombing, is a leading maritime hub with its Keroman fishing port (France's second by tonnage), its submarine base converted into a cultural space and the Cite de la Voile Eric Tabarly. The Interceltic Festival, held every August, transforms the city into the world capital of Celtic culture for ten days, with concerts, fest-noz evenings, bagadou parades and pipe band competitions. Quimper, at the other end of this 67-kilometre journey, is a city of art and history with incomparable charm. Nestled at the confluence of the Odet and Steir rivers, the medieval old town unfolds around Saint-Corentin Cathedral with its Gothic spires and the Odet gardens below. Quimper is world-renowned for its hand-painted faience, an artisan tradition dating back to 1690, and for its Festival de Cornouaille celebrating Breton music and dance every summer. The taxi is used by professionals working between the two cities, festival-goers, families on holiday on the Finistere coast and travellers connecting between Lorient and Quimper stations, both served by TGV.
Route
Route Lorient → Quimper
From Lorient, your driver joins the N165 towards Quimper, a toll-free dual carriageway. You leave Lorient westward, crossing the Scorff river, then the road gradually climbs into the wooded hills of the Finistere countryside. The first point of interest is Quimperle, a charming small confluence town nestled in a green valley where the Elle and Isole rivers meet to form the Laita. The Sainte-Croix Abbey of Quimperle, a jewel of 11th-century Breton Romanesque art with its unique circular plan, is worth a detour. After Quimperle, the N165 crosses landscapes of hills, heathland and deciduous forests typical of Brittany. You pass near Rosporden, a town on the shores of a peaceful pond, known for its artisan cider. Arrival in Quimper is via the eastern ring road, offering a panorama of the Odet valley set between wooded hillsides. Your driver drops you in the city centre, at the station or at your chosen address. The journey takes 45 minutes normally and can reach 1h during summer festivals or Saturday morning markets in Quimper.

Specific tips for the Lorient → Quimper route
Quimperle is a charming stop if you have time: the Sainte-Croix Abbey (11th century, unique circular plan in Brittany) and the lower town lanes with their half-timbered houses deserve 30 minutes. In Quimper, start with Saint-Corentin Cathedral (free) whose medieval stained glass is among Brittany's finest, then stroll the Odet quays lined with colourful houses and flower gardens. The Quimper Fine Arts Museum (Place Saint-Corentin, 5 euros) holds a remarkable collection of Breton painting, including works from the Pont-Aven school. Kouign-amann, the iconic buttery pastry born in nearby Douarnenez (30 km from Quimper), is found in every Quimper bakery — try the one from Maison Georges Larnicol. The covered Halles market (daily except Sunday) is the daily meeting point for Quimper food lovers.
