Lorient, Maritime commune in southern Brittany, France.
The port city of Lorient extends across the meeting point of Scorff and Blavet rivers before they flow into the Atlantic Ocean.
Founded in 1666 during Louis XIV's reign, Lorient served as the primary base for the French East India Company's maritime operations and trading ventures.
The Festival Interceltique in Lorient gathers performers and artists from Celtic nations, presenting music, dance, and traditions from Brittany and beyond.
The Keroman fishing port stands among France's leading facilities, processing substantial quantities of fish and supporting the regional maritime economy.
German forces constructed a submarine base during World War II that withstood intense bombardment while the surrounding city experienced extensive damage.
