What to see in Lorient

Lorient, a coastal city in the Brittany region of France, is a vibrant tapestry of maritime history, cultural richness and natural beauty. This port city, once a major hub for the French East India Company and later a key naval base during World War II, offers a variety of attractions for visitors.

Lorient’s history is deeply intertwined with the sea, particularly its role as a submarine base during World War II. The former submarine base has been transformed into a unique museum, the Flore Submarine Museum, offering an insight into the life of submariners. Visitors can tour the Flore, a decommissioned French Navy submarine, and experience the confined and complex world of underwater naval operations. The museum also details the history of the Lorient submarine base and offers an educational journey through the evolution of submarine warfare.

If you visit in August, don’t miss the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, one of the largest Celtic festivals in the world. This annual celebration brings together artists, musicians and dancers from various Celtic nations, including Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Brittany itself. The festival is a vibrant showcase of Celtic culture, featuring traditional music, folk dancing, bagpipe parades and contemporary Celtic rock concerts. It's a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich Celtic heritage and enjoy a lively, festive atmosphere.

A short ferry ride from Lorient is the picturesque Île de Groix, an island known for its stunning landscapes and biodiversity. The island is a haven for nature lovers and cyclists, with beautiful beaches, rugged cliffs and an abundance of flora and fauna. One of the highlights is the Plage des Grands Sables, a convex beach unique in Europe. The island is also a geological treasure, with a rich variety of minerals and an area dedicated as a geological nature reserve. Visitors can enjoy hiking, cycling, or simply relaxing on the beaches of this charming island.
