Quimper

And another day, August 1st, we visited Quimper, another of Brittany's larger towns, and capital of the department of Finistere.

Main square

Another half-timbered heaven

A main interest for me, Quimper's Cathedral, St. Corentin

Mainly because of its interesting curvature

The nave and the chancel are headed in slightly different directions...

Nice old windows

Some carving of interest

Wall of the cathedral precinct

Buttressing

But the main interest of the day was the carousel

Note stripey coordinates

Not just any carousel; Jules Verne was from Nantes, the largest city in traditional
Brittany (now in the Loire-Atlantique department)

Around the world in 80 days...

The Nautilus

Pretty town, Quimper
