__NOTOC__
'''{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}Lorient''' (Breton: '''An Oriant''') is a city in the [[Bretagne]] in [[France]].
==Hitching OutHitchhiking out ==To get out of Lorient the best spot may be at Lanester. Take a bus (line 31, 40, 24) from the city center to ''Parc des Expos'' about 3 km east. There's a big Shopping Center, exhibition grounds and McDonaldMcD's.
Just after the big roundabout, on the slip road towards [[Vannes]]/[[Nantes]]/[[Rennes]], you will find a good location where cars can see you and pull over easily. It has always worked for me in less than 20 minutes.
It's a bit more complicated west towards [[Quimper]].
There is another spot going all directions and always going throught the lanester roundabout (if you can't take the bus) it's the rond point de la base sous marine, behind the géant.
==Hitching In==
To get to lorient you have to take a detour from the main axis nantes-brest, so if the driver doesn't have time ask to be dropped off in lanester, from there you can either walk 2-3km and you'll be in lorient (follow the signs) or hitchhicke on the roundabout going towards Lorient, doesn't work very well but it eventually does ==Public Transport==
