    Quimper

    June 3, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Quimper, or Kemper in Breton, is the capital of the historic region of Cornouaille. The city has around 64 000 inhabitants, called Quimpérois in French and Kemperiz in Breton. Its original Breton name Kemper means confluence, as it was built at the confluence of the Jet, Steïr and Frout rivers with the Odet river.

    The city is famous for its porcelain factory. In its workshops, faience has been shaped and decorated entirely by hand according to ancient traditions for four centuries.

    I did not find anything "special" here - hmmmm - seems like I suffer an inflation of historic cities 🤣.
