Stays in Lorient
Lorient sits on Brittany's Atlantic coast in the Morbihan, where the Scorff and Blavet rivers meet at a natural roadstead once built around submarines and now built around ocean racing. Independent hotels cluster around the harbour, the train station and the Keroman fishing port, putting most stays within walking distance of the water.

Lorient in numbers
Lorient sits where Brittany's Atlantic coast folds around a natural roadstead, the meeting point of the Scorff and Blavet rivers in the Morbihan department. Where to stay in Lorient comes down to how close travellers want to be to that water: hotels cluster around the harbour and the old submarine base at Lorient La Base, now home to ocean-racing skippers, while others sit nearer the train station and the Keroman fishing port. Ferries leave for the Ile de Groix a few minutes from most central addresses, and the Festival Interceltique fills the town every August. Families, sailing fans and couples heading onward to Carnac or Quiberon all find a comfortable base here without needing a car.

- Walk out to Lorient La Base to see the old submarine pens before catching a ferry across to Groix.
- Pick a harbourside address for an easy walk to the Ile de Groix ferry terminal without needing a taxi.
- Rent a car for a day if the plan includes Carnac's standing stones or the Quiberon peninsula further along the coast.
