Discover the city of Quimper

Flint discovered during archaeological digs attests to the occupation of the area as far back as the Prehistoric period. During the Roman period, Quimper was a flourishing maritime trading post, but it later diminished in importance. Founded by Gradlon in the 5th and 6th centuries, the city would become a major political and religious centre. The names of Kemper and Quempercorentin appeared at the end of the 11th century. In 1532, Brittany became part of France. The Wars of Religion were a troubled time: Quimper, an ally of the Holy League, joined the combat in 1595. Pottery works were developed in the 18th century. By the 20th century, the economy was based primarily on the food industry, in particular jam and preserves.
