Quimper-Cornouaille Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Quimper-Cornouaille airport, in Pluguffan, is about 8 km from the centre: there's no train or tram, but the QUB urban bus (line 25) links the Résistance stop in the centre to the terminal in 20-30 minutes, or you can get there by taxi in 10-13 minutes. Those with a dawn flight do better with a taxi; those wanting to visit the city choose a hotel next to the station, which the urban buses also pass through, or immerse themselves in the half-timbered streets of the Saint-Corentin Cathedral. South of the city, on the road to the airport, there's also a quiet alternative surrounded by greenery.
