Hotels in Quimper : à 13, Quimper
Updated 2 July 2026 · 9 real hotels
The Quimper : à 13 area covers a coastal and semi-rural stretch south of Quimper city centre, extending toward the Odet estuary and the resort town of Bénodet. It suits travellers who want a quieter base close to Finistère beaches and thalassotherapy, while still being within easy reach of Quimper's medieval old town. It is a particularly good fit for couples, wellness seekers and slow travellers rather than those prioritising urban nightlife.
The zone labelled Quimper : à 13 groups accommodations located roughly 13 kilometres from Quimper's city centre, following the course of the Odet river southward toward the Atlantic coast. The landscape here shifts from Breton market-town architecture to wooded river valleys, salt-meadow edges and small seaside communities. Bénodet, the most recognisable name in the area, is a compact seaside resort with sandy beaches, a sailing harbour and thalassotherapy facilities, making this corridor popular from late spring through early autumn. Road and seasonal river-boat connections link the area back to Quimper, so a day trip into the city for its Gothic cathedral, faïence pottery shops and covered market is straightforward by car or bus.
Hotels here range from wellness-focused thalasso resorts to charming manor houses and highly rated small guesthouses, with nightly rates sitting between roughly 96 and 186 euros depending on property type and season. The vibe is unhurried and nature-oriented rather than urban. Visitors who book here typically prioritise access to the coast, the Odet estuary walks and spa treatments over proximity to Quimper's city-centre bars and restaurants. A car is useful, though not strictly essential, for exploring the wider Cornouaille coastline during a stay in this zone.

How do I get from Quimper city centre to the Quimper : à 13 area?+
By car the drive from central Quimper to Bénodet takes around 20 to 25 minutes via the D34 road following the Odet. Local bus services connect Quimper's bus station with Bénodet, with journey times typically between 30 and 45 minutes depending on the route and time of year. In summer months, a scenic river-boat service operates along the Odet between Quimper and Bénodet, which is a pleasant alternative to road travel. A rental car gives the most flexibility for reaching smaller villages and beaches in the area.
