Lorient: top 10 things to do

An essential port city in the Morbihan department, Lorient is the starting point for many nature and cultural excursions in the city, or more widely in this part of Brittany.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of 10 typically Lorient activities:

Lorient city center, with its shopping streets, cafés and restaurants. Place Alsace-Lorraine is a good starting point for exploring the city and discovering all its treasures.

If you’re staying in Lorient in Southern Brittany, take the time to visit the Breton islands. The islands of Groix and Belle-Île-en-Mer from Lorient, as well as Ile-aux-Moines and Ile d’Arz from nearby Vannes, are a must. And why not try the islands of Houat and Hoëdic, accessible by ferry from Quiberon? Their fine sandy beaches and hiking trails will instantly charm you.

Activities for the whole family

The Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly is a space dedicated to sailing and to this emblematic French sailor.

The marina and Quai des Indes offer lively strolls, as well as the opportunity to admire the pleasure boats moored there.

The Jules Ferry park, the Chevassu garden and the banks of the Etang du Ter are all great places to discover the unsuspected flora of southern Brittany, as well as pleasant outdoor walks.

Speaking of nature, the banks of the river Scorff offer a beautiful atmosphere, at once harbor, urban and natural. Lorient’s maritime history is palpable at every turn.

If you’re fond of architecture and history, let yourself be tempted by the Enclos du Port, a historic district near the marina, with cobblestone streets and old houses.

The Davis Tower, Lorient’s underwater museum, for underwater enthusiasts.

A visit to the Flore-S645 submarine, just a stone’s throw from the Cité de la Voile.

The greenway linking Lorient to the Courégant beach in Ploemeur.
