From what I’ve posted so far it might seem as if Lorient only has relatively modern looking buildings. Mind you, a tourist information lady told me 10% of it got bomb damaged during the war. (Only 10%, I thought. Caen got flattened.)

This one isn’t modern looking but still has 1927 in an oval cartouche towards the top of the turrety feature:-

This is the oldest building in town apparently. Hotel Gabriel plus what looks an even older tower in the background, Tour de la Découverte:-

Lorient also has a naval base and a Naval Academy, which we walked past to get to and from Hotel Gabriel. This ship was in Le Scorff river:-
