Quimperlé, Brittany travel guide
Quimperlé is in southern Brittany, inland from Pont-Aven between Lorient and Concarneau. It is at the eastern edge of the Finistere department.
Quite a small town, it is based around two rivers (the Ellé and the Isole rivers) as they converge to create the Laita river. The town itself is divided by the hill in the town.
Quimperlé is a magnet for tourists due to its very pretty centre, filled with streets of medieval half-timbered houses typical of the Brittany region, along with some more grand houses once owned by nobles of the town
Scattered among the town there are also some interesting churches to be discovered, for example the Sainte-Croix church in the heart of the old (lower) town and the church of the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption in the upper town.
The old Pont Fleuri in the town lives up to its name and is bedecked with flowers all through the summer.
