What to expect
The Base sous-marine de Lorient, also known as Lorient Submarine Base, is a former submarine base located in Lorient, France. It was built by the Germans during World War II and was used as a strategic base for the Battle of the Atlantic. After the war, it was taken over by the French Navy and later repurposed as a economic, tourist, and nautical hub. The base features several blocks, including K1, K2, and K3, which are now used for various purposes such as a contemporary music concert hall, a sailing museum, and a submariners' museum. Guided tours are available to explore the base and learn about its history and construction. The base is also family-friendly, with special visits proposed for children during school holidays
