Serenely set in the middle of a quiet pedestrian mall, this beautiful Gothic cathedral's architecture will take your breath away. Inside the cathedral is a beautiful simplicity. A historic pictorial time time through the annals of history is a must-see highlight. More

I like cathedrals, but even if you are not fussed you'd presumably have to visit this one if you were visiting Quimper.

The cathedral is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Personally, I prefer the intricate Gothic design of the outside over the comparatively simple inside.
