Itinerary
Discover Lorient, a city born of maritime audacity and rebuilt on its own ruins. Throughout the visit, you will explore the unique history of this port city founded in the 17th century by the East India Company, a true driver of French trade with Asia. You will relive the excitement of this young 360-year-old city, born from a shipyard before diving into one of the darkest periods of its history: the Second World War. Ravaged by the bombings, Lorient still bears the traces of that period of massive destruction. For 1 hour and 30 minutes, walk from the Enclos du Port; historic heart of the East India Company; to Alsace-Lorraine square, where the vestiges of the conflict still slumber. At each stage, you will follow the daily life of the people of Lorient through the centuries, between maritime prosperity, the trauma of conflict, and rebirth after 1945. An immersive walk to understand how Lorient, young but resilient, reinvented itself to become the city known today.
