Lorient, the City of Five Ports and the Heart of the Interceltic Festival
Lorient, located in the Morbihan region of Brittany, is a dynamic city known for its rich maritime heritage and vibrant Interceltic Festival. Each year, this port city is transformed into a global centre for Celtic culture, attracting artists and visitors from all over Celtic and beyond.
Le Festival Interceltique de Lorient : Un Événement Incontournable
The Lorient Interceltic Festival, held every August since 1971, is one of the largest gatherings of Celtic cultures in the world. Music, dance, parades, art exhibitions and sporting competitions take place over ten days, highlighting the traditions of Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, Galicia and Asturias. It's a fascinating celebration of the diversity and richness of Celtic cultures.
Discovering Lorient
Aside from the festival, Lorient offers many attractions. The Keroman submarine base, a relic of the Second World War, is now a place of remembrance and culture. The Flore-S645 submarine and its interactive museum offer an insight into the city's maritime history. Fans of sailing and water sports will also find plenty to enjoy in Lorient, which is often referred to as the "sailing capital".
