The Jardin de l’Évêché in Quimper is a charming green space nestled between the Musée Départemental Breton and the Saint-Corentin Cathedral. Originally part of the bishop’s palace, the garden has evolved into a cultural venue, hosting concerts, exhibitions, and traditional Breton performances during the summer months.

The garden features manicured lawns, flower beds, and shaded pathways, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. It is particularly known for its seasonal events, including the Jeudis de l’Évêché, where bagadoù and Celtic dance groups perform weekly from June to September.

Historically, the site was enclosed within the medieval city walls, reflecting Quimper’s rich past. Today, it serves as both a historical landmark and a vibrant cultural hub, attracting visitors interested in Breton heritage and outdoor festivities.
