The main river passing Lorient is Le Blavet which Le Scorff joins just where the Black Watch was moored. There was a windsurfer plying the waters as we set sail:-

Not to mention a yacht and the pilot boat. Again click on pictures to get to video on my flickr:-

Town across river from Lorient. Port Louis, I think:-

Not much distance out to the deep channel for shipping here:-

Not much spare room this side either:-

Fort at river mouth:-

Fort and Port Louis:-

Looking back to fort and Lorient:-

Our first cruise stop was in Lorient, Brittany, France. Almost the first thing we saw after making our way out of the port was this piece of Modern Art Deco:-

The style continued a bit further along:-

The same group of buildings from across an inlet of the river, Le Scorff, just beyond where the Black Watch was moored:-

The spire of this church kept catching my eye. It was ages before I found the street it was in. Eglise Notre Dame de Victorie St Louis, rebuilt 1953-5 after bomb damage during the war:-

Doorway:-

The Body Shop:-

There is a slight Art Deco look, especially the porthole windows in the annexy bit, to this building at Lorient harbour, which from its appearance may date from the Second World War:-
