Gifts, bistros and Popeye: Hello !

Weather: beware of gusts

This Thursday, December 19, the clouds present in the morning, giving some nice showers, should gradually give way during the day to clearings. The rain will move away, but the wind will strengthen, and very strong gusts are forecast. In terms of temperatures, it remains rather mild, with an evolution between 8° and 10°C during the day.

We are approaching the shortest days of the year. The sun will rise today at 9:03 a.m. and set at 5:26 p.m.


Road traffic

Traffic is very fluid at the start of the day, both around and in the city center.


These bars that are a hit outside city centers

In Quimper, as in other Cornish cities, bars located outside the city centers are very successful. With their vast spaces, their car parks and their themed evenings, these establishments attract an office clientele as well as a family clientele. A quick tour of these new places of conviviality.

The great idea: a book for each kindergarten student

The tradition continues: before the Christmas holidays, nursery school students from all public and private schools in Quimper receive a book, an initiative to promote reading from an early age. There are 2,232 of them this year to be thus spoiled.

Ephemeris: a happy holiday to the Urbains

On this Thursday, December 19, we celebrate the Urban, but also the Urban or Urbano. Well, these are not really the most common first names: in 2020 there were only three babies named Urbain.

Happy birthday today to Karim Benzema (37 years old), Béatrice Dalle (60 years old) or Jake Gyllenhaal (44 years old). It was also on December 19 that the little girl, Edith Piaf, was born in 1915.

It was also on December 19 that the cult and violent film “A Clockwork ” was released in 1971. But it was also on this date, in 1919, that the first episode of the adventures of the famous sailor, Popeye, was published, somewhat forgotten today, and invented to stimulate the consumption of spinach which made him so strong!
