(Brittany)
Pop: 62,400
Lorient is a commune/seaport that welcomes the rivers
Scorff and Blavet. Both empty into the Atlantic Ocean
there.
During WW II it was the German's preeminent
submarine base on the Atlantic.
Yet another city that was architecturally
devastated during World War II, Lorient re-emerged with
current features reminiscent of the 1950's.
Maritime activities and tourism dominate
the city's economy.
