Town and seaport with a long history and a nice place to wander around. The city's name is derived from Le Soleil d'Orient, the first ship constructed at the site, in 1669. Workers gave the site the name of the ship, which, by contraction, became simply L'Orient and finally Lorient.Here's a link to tourist information: Tourist info website
