Quimper, Brittany 29000

In the midst of Quimper, a mansion house, home and workshop of architect Gustave-Bigot. This mansion house is set in the peace and quiet of a back street, some 200 metres from the town's historic centre, equidistant and very near to the Odet and Steir embankments. Completed in 1890, it was the work, the home and the workshop of local architect, Gustave-Bigot. His father Joseph, before him, had predominantly worked in Finistre and, notably, added the two neo-gothic spires to Saint-Corentin cathedral in 1854. This building stands, classically set back, on a public street. Facing east-west, it spans three levels and has a completely private, landscaped garden.
