Travel to Lorient

In the heart of Southern Brittany, Lorient is the "town of five ports": it is a military port, yachting marina, fishing port (the second largest in France), industrial port, and passenger port. Lorient is resolutely ruled by the Atlantic Ocean. In the 17th century the French East India Company based itself in Port-Louis (5 km from Lorient) and began to construct its first boat which was destined to trade with the countries of the Far East, China, Africa and the New World. It was named the Soleil d'Orient or "eastern sun" and thus the port town was named Lorient.
