The cathedral town of Quimper is situated in the department of Finistere in south-west Brittany. It has a regional airport that is located just outside the town in Pluguffan, providing unhindered access to French property buyers seeking homes in this most beautiful part of France.
Quimper is built upon the banks of the River Odet, and is a main tourist attraction in the region. The 13th century cathedral with its twin spires dominates the older part of town, and is flanked by narrow streets over which medieval buildings stand. Sixteenth and seventeenth century architecture survives in large areas of the town, especially in the areas where the river meanders its way through.
For buyers of French property, Quimper and the surrounding area offers many opportunities. In the town itself, Quimper property for sale includes luxury apartments and stylish houses in and around the town centre. A T3 stone apartment in Quimper overlooking the river will cost around 100,000 euros to 120,000 euros. For that idyllic villa in France, Quimper property buyers should look west towards the countryside. The area between Pointe du Raz and Douarnenez is especially noteworthy for its prestige country property, as are the villages and hamlets lining Audierne Bay.
