Camping & mobile home holidays in L'Orangerie de Lanniron, Quimper, south western Brittany
Quimper (spelled Kemper) lies inland and roughly 10 KMs north of Benodet in the department of Finistere, south western Brittany. An autoroute joins the city with Quimperle, Lorient, Vannes and Nantes. Similar roads lead on from there right down the west coast past Bordeaux and on to the French/Spanish border.
Looking at it from a logical point of view it isn’t probably the sort of place you would associate with camping or mobile home holidays, and yet the area is as busy as anywhere else in Brittany for that very thing.
As with other camping resorts in the region it is easily accessible from the major northern French ferry ports of Roscoff, St Malo, Caen and Cherbourg.
Quimper is the ancient capital of La Cornouaille, Brittany’s most traditional region, and the residents celebrate their Celtic heritage with flags and Galas now and then. We cannot say for sure who actually built Quimper but we do know that it was settled by the Romans and there is a wealth of history in the city from their days to this.
The river Odet which bisects Benodet to the south also flows through Quimper, and it is on the outskirts of the city where you will find the camping site L’Orangerie de Lanniron which is set in 38 hectares (120 acres) of nature reserve in the form of botanical gardens and extremely old trees in landscaped surroundings. L’Orangerie is set here in 6 hectares of the grounds of an old castle amid all the marvelous scenery of the estate. No wonder it is so highly rated by all who stay here.
