A view of the church at Quimper from the streets of the old town....
The weather today was cloudy and cool, so we decided to use this day to go to Quimper, the city nearby, to see its famous church and museum, and leave the rocky coast to a clearer day. The museum was very interesting, particularly because it had a whole section of clothing, showing the elaborate costumes of both the men and the women, including the various types of lacy caps the women are known for. We took a walk through the streets of old town, looking at the faience (painted ceramics) the area is known for.
We enjoyed dinner back at the hotel restaurant, which turned out to be quite nice and with a varied menu for so small a place-- about 12 rooms. It has a dinin room overlooking the river which is likely a popular location for the local folks as well as guests of the hotel.
