Lorient

Lorient is a city in the Bretagne in France.

Hitchhiking 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 McD'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.
