One of cities we visited was Quimper, a town full of traditions and with a very rich culture. Quimper isn't a very big town and its streets are not so large. In the wintertime, the shops, important buildings from the city, and even the houses are decorated.
In the middle of the town is the cathedral. It is very big and is built in gothic style from the XIII century and was finished in the XIX century. This construction was dedicated to St. Corentin. Even if the streets aren't so big they are always filled with thousands of tourists who come here every year to see a breton city.
For 75 years a festival named "Cornouaille festival" is held on the third and fourth Sunday of every July in Quimper. Quimper is full of places named Creperies where they serve traditional pancakes. In town the constructions are made in a modern style and the Quimper houses are very much alike. They are all white with a black or brown roof. Quimper is a town of art and history. It is a town with a breton influence and so many tourists are interested in the culture, traditions and language of this region. In time, tourism has developed a lot in Quimper becoming one of the most important industries in town.
Quimper este un oras al artei si al istoriei, un oras cu un specific breton ce gazduieste an de an turistii interesati de cultura, traditiile si limba specifica acestei regiuni. De-a lungul anilor turismul s-a dezvoltat foarte mult in Quimper devenind una din cele mai prospere industrii ale orasului.
Acest oras avand iesire la mare are totodata un specific marin. Ce m-a impresionat in acest oras este curatenia acestuia si felul in care este decorat dar si sentimentul
What impressed me most about Quimper was that besides being a very clean city and the way it was decorated, but also the local feeling for their traditions, culture and language too. The green spaces aren't missing in Quimper either. Due to their weather, the plants are always green even in the Wintertime. In Quimper, many people still an old language named bretagne. In the bretagne language Quimper is named Kemper.
This town deserves to be visited by any one who is interested in culture, traditions and historical towns. Quimper is a town of art and history.
