LOCATION

 

Brittany is divided into four departments: Cotes d’Armor, Finistere, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Morbihan. Audierne is in Finistere Finistere’s boundary is two thirds surrounded by sea and because of this the climate is temperate with comfortable temperatures all year round.

Audierne - 25km west of Douarnenez  on the Bay of Audierne, is an exceptional seaside village. Situated in the estuary of the Goyan River, it is a busy harbourside village with bustling quays and narrow streets full of character and charm. Still an active fishing port specializing in prawns and crayfish, Audierne spreads along the northern shore of the Goyan estuary, a short way back from the sea. At the inland end of town, a new aquarium holds tanks full of mostly local fish. From the town centre, the road continues just over 1km to the long, curving and surprisingly sheltered beach of Ste-Evette.  There are regular boat trips out to the Isle de Sein. Towns and villages including the city of Quimper (around 15 minutes drive) with its fine town square, where you can enjoy a drink or meal whilst watching the world go by. It also has many fine shops and is worth visiting on market day or to see the beautiful cathedral ruins, but there is still much of the medieval city left to enjoy. The old town is atmospheric, interesting and very beautiful. Quimper, large though it may be, has the feel and atmosphere of a much smaller town, with an old world charm, which calls back visitors time and time again. The ambience is rustic rather than urban, as you wander in the ancient streets of the Old Quarter, with its twisting alleyways and half-timbered houses, it is easy to forget that this is a thriving modern city, an economic force and the most important town in the region. 

 

Musicians, dancers, singers and performers take to the streets of the medieval town of Quimper, for what is one of the largest celebrations of Breton culture in the world. Dressed in distinctive traditional clothing, the picturesque town of Quimper comes alive in this cultural celebration that dates back to 1922.
