History


Three centuries of history

In December 2005, Lorient was awarded the prestigious title of Town of art and history. Uniquely for Lorient: all the periods of its history and the whole 1 700 hectares of its territory are covered by the award. This is the first modern town to have obtained the award in these conditions.
It is recognition of Lorient’s heritage but also of the town’s efforts to raise its population’s awareness of architecture and town planning.
