Transport

The name of the main bus station in Lorient is "Gare d'échanges". It's located close to the train sation and quite close from Lorient's real center. From there it's possible to take buses for Lorient's area and for the whole Morbihan. You can also take a train or jump in a taxi. From Lorient you also have the possibility to take a boat to cities of the other side of Lorient's roadstead as Port-Louis, Locmiquelic and Gavres with a normal bus ticket. You can also go to the island of Groix. The airport can be reached by bus or taxi. And you can use a car sharing system or hitchhike.

Tips

If you want to stay in Lorient's center, you can ask to couchsurfers living there. But if you don't mind and agree or want to be a little bit more in the countryside or close to the coast, don't forget to make a couchsearch a little bit wider. This can be necessary during Lorient's Interceltic Festival in august. Lorient's inside CS are very much in demand at this period and can't satisfy all.

You can have a free wifi internet access in the supermarket Géant Casino [10] located in Lanester (Lanester is just next to Lorient in the east (NE) and can easily be reached by bus [11]).

CouchSurfers
