Petit Train Quimper is a fun way to get a quick overview before exploring on foot. If you don't speak French, there's a booklet to follow along with, though I'd keep my eyes up too so I didn't miss the sights passing by.

H tel Ginkgo - SPA Biloba is the one I'd save for a slower, more restorative Quimper stay. The SPA focus makes it especially appealing when you want to balance days of sightseeing with genuine downtime.
