Pont Croix and Quimper

Pont Croix about 3 km form Pors Peron is a small medieval town which climbs up the hillside from the banks of the river Goyen. A lot of the houses and architecture are 13th century and lead up steep cobbled streets to the main square. formally an ancient inland port it makes a delightful walk round for a couple of hours but eating opportunities are  limited.

Quimper about 25km away was the nearest "city" again with a great ancient heart centred around the Cathedral area, itself a magnificent gothic edifice extended over the centuries with tremendous stained glass windows.
The little squares and streets hosted lots of bars and restaurants and I imagine its a great place to while away summer evening
