Pictures, finally!


This is the main Cathedral, in the middle of downtown. They're just finishing up restoration work, and took down most of the scaffolding a couple of weeks ago. I'll try and post an updated pic sans scaffolding sometime.

This is the River Odet which runs through town and out into the Atlantic, about 30 km downstream. It plays a large role in making Quimper the quintessential French town. :)

Here's more of these river. These little foot bridges (passerelles) cross the river at several places throughout downtown and are usually covered with flower boxes.

Here's a view of town from the top of Mt Frugy ('Mt." being used very loosely, it's definitely more of a steep hill).

Artsy flower pic with some cute Quimper architecture in the background.
