The Gare de Quimperlé or train station is on the line from Savenay to Landerneau, and located near the center of the town. It was put into service in 1863 , The Quimperlé train station is served by TGV inOui on the Paris-Montparnasse – Rennes – Quimper relationship, and by TER Bretagne trains which carry out missions between the stations of Quimper ,Lorient, Rennes, and Nantes.

Theodore Hersart de la Villemarque , wrote  Barzas-Breiz  (Breton popular songs and dance)  The Théa collection of songs collected, words and music, in the Breton language, written by Théodore Hersart de la Villemarque , wrote  Barzas-Breiz (= poems of Brittany ) ,which is a collection of songs , words and music, in the Breton part of Brittany in the 19C, 

Recall that Quimperlé is located at the confluence of the Ellé and the Isole then forming a coastal river La Laïta , The Isole river has very clear waters. It has its source in the Montagnes Noires, in Morbihan. Its course is made up of many meanders, until it creates deep gorges at the level of the Cascadec forest, in Scaër. The Isole is a 48 km long river that crosses Morbihan and Finistère before flowing into the Laïta. Five bridges in the town of Quimperlé upstream from the confluence with the Ellé to form the Laïta.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
