Roadstead of Lorient

The roadstead of Lorient (French: Rade de Lorient, Breton: Lenn-von an Oriant) is a roadstead located to the west of Morbihan in Brittany, France.

The harbor of Lorient constitutes the mouths of the rivers Blavet, Scorff and the Ter in the Atlantic Ocean.

It has several port facilities, including marinas but also the infrastructure of the Lorient Submarine Base.
